Know before you buy
This is a 9-inch accent or salad plate, which is the standard size for serving salads, appetizers, or desserts.
Because this plate features delicate platinum lines and raised gold dots, it is not recommended for dishwasher use. Hand washing is necessary to preserve the integrity of the metallic detailing.
No, this plate is not microwave safe. The metallic platinum and gold accents will spark and cause damage if placed in a microwave.
While the fine porcelain is durable, the intricate gold and platinum detailing requires careful handling. It is best suited for special occasions or formal dining rather than heavy, everyday use.
The Basque pattern is distinct due to its specific combination of platinum lines and raised gold dots. It is best paired with solid white porcelain or simple metallic-rimmed dinnerware to avoid clashing patterns.
