Know before you buy
No, this plate is not dishwasher, microwave, oven, or freezer safe. Due to the delicate hand-painted craftsmanship, it should be hand-washed with care to preserve its finish.
The Daphne plate is designed specifically as a charger or presentation plate. It serves as a decorative base for your dinnerware rather than a primary plate for food service.
The plate measures 12 inches in diameter. This generous size is standard for a charger, providing a sophisticated frame for most standard-sized dinner plates.
Because the plate is hand-painted in Limoges, France, it requires gentle handling. We recommend hand-washing with a soft cloth and mild detergent, and avoiding abrasive scrubbers or stacking heavy items directly on top of it to prevent chips.
As a special order item, this plate is crafted specifically for your request. Please be aware that all sales are final and the production process requires an 8 to 12-week delivery window.
