Know before you buy
Each plate is meticulously hand-painted and crafted in Limoges, France, a region world-renowned for its fine porcelain production.
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 marine color edge.
While the porcelain is of exceptional quality, this piece is specifically designed for formal occasions. Its hand-painted details and non-stackable design make it better suited for special events rather than daily kitchen use.
The plate features a classic round shape with a diameter of 11 inches, providing a standard and elegant surface for formal dinner service.
No, this plate is not chip-resistant. Because it is crafted from fine, artisanal porcelain, it requires careful handling and storage to prevent damage.
