Know before you buy
These plates are strictly for decorative use. Due to their age and the nature of the antique ceramic, they are not food-safe, nor are they dishwasher or microwave safe.
Because these pieces date back to the late 1700s or early 1800s, they will show age-related wear. You should expect minor dings, scratches, or imperfections, which are considered part of their historical character rather than defects.
No, each plate features a unique, hand-painted scenic motif. Because they are individually crafted, no two plates are exactly alike.
To preserve the integrity of the hand-painted finish, we recommend dusting the plates gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water, harsh cleaning agents, or abrasive materials.
Yes, their round shape and 9-inch diameter make them excellent candidates for wall displays. You will need to use a standard plate hanger specifically sized for a 9-inch ceramic plate.
