Know before you buy
No, handwashing is recommended for this plate. Because it features delicate handpainted details and genuine 24K gold accents, a dishwasher can cause the finish to fade or chip over time.
You should not use this plate in the microwave. The 24K gold detailing is a metallic accent, which poses a safety risk and can cause damage to both the plate and your appliance.
Each piece is individually handpainted by artisans in Hungary, so there may be subtle variations in the brushwork and floral motifs. This unique artistry is a hallmark of the Herend brand and ensures that every plate is one-of-a-kind.
Measuring 8.25 inches, this piece is specifically sized as a dessert plate. It is perfectly suited for serving cakes, pastries, or fruit, though its intricate design also makes it a popular choice for decorative display.
No, the Chinese Bouquet pattern—originally known as 'Apponyi Flowers'—is a historic design that dates back to the 1930s. It remains a classic, enduring motif in the Herend collection.
