Know before you buy
Due to the delicate hand-painted finish, this plate is not dishwasher, microwave, oven, or freezer safe. We recommend hand washing with a soft cloth and mild detergent to preserve the integrity of the design.
No, these plates are not designed to be stacked. To prevent scratching or damaging the hand-painted surface, we suggest storing them individually or using protective felt dividers between each piece.
While the porcelain is high-quality, the intricate hand-painted details and specific care requirements make this piece better suited for formal occasions rather than daily use.
The Lexington Gris dinner plate measures 11 inches (279.4 mm) in diameter, which is a standard size for a formal dinner plate.
Each plate is individually hand-painted in Limoges, France. While the design follows the signature Lexington Gris pattern, the artisanal nature of the process means there may be slight, unique variations between individual pieces.
