Know before you buy
The plate measures 6.25 inches in diameter, which is the standard size for a bread and butter service.
No, these plates are not dishwasher, microwave, oven, or freezer safe. Due to the delicate hand-painted finish, they should be hand-washed only to preserve the quality of the design.
Each plate is individually hand-painted and banded in Limoges, France. Because they are crafted to order, you can expect unique, artisanal variations that reflect the high level of craftsmanship inherent in Limoges porcelain.
These plates are not designed to be stackable. To prevent scratching or damage to the hand-painted surfaces, we recommend using plate dividers or felt protectors if you plan to store them in a stack.
This collection is crafted from fine porcelain intended for formal dining rather than everyday heavy use. It is not specifically treated for chip resistance, so it should be handled with the care typically afforded to fine Limoges tableware.
