Know before you buy
The Colette Color Ardoise dessert plate measures 8.25 inches in diameter, making it the standard size for serving cakes, tarts, or fruit.
No, these plates are not dishwasher, microwave, oven, or freezer safe. Due to the delicate hand-painted finish, they should be hand-washed with care to preserve the integrity of the design.
Each plate is custom-produced in Limoges, France, specifically for your order. Because of this bespoke production process, the items are non-returnable and require an 8-12 week lead time for delivery.
No, these plates are not designed to be stackable. We recommend using plate dividers or felt protectors between each piece if you plan to store them in a stack to prevent scratching the hand-painted surfaces.
This fine porcelain is crafted for elegance rather than heavy-duty commercial use. It is not chip-resistant, so it should be handled with the care typically reserved for fine Limoges dinnerware.
