Know before you buy
The Colette Color Edge Sapin dessert plate measures 8.25 inches (209.55 mm) in diameter, making it the standard size for serving cakes, tarts, and other desserts.
No, these plates are not safe for use in the dishwasher, microwave, oven, or freezer. Due to the delicate hand-painted finish, they should be hand-washed only to preserve the integrity of the design.
Because each plate is individually hand-painted in Limoges, France, there may be subtle variations in the brushwork. This artisanal process ensures that every piece possesses a unique, authentic quality.
This plate is crafted from fine porcelain, which is prized for its elegance and translucency rather than high-impact durability. It is not classified as chip-resistant and should be handled with care during use and storage.
These plates are not designed to be stackable. To prevent scratching or damage to the hand-painted Sapin color edge, we recommend using plate dividers or felt protectors if you must store them in a stack.
