Know before you buy
Yes, it is crafted from high-quality fine bone china and is suitable for serving meals. However, due to the delicate 22-carat gold detailing, we recommend hand washing to preserve the finish.
The plate is designed for display, but it does not come with integrated hardware. You will need to purchase a standard plate hanger or adhesive wall disc to mount it securely.
Because each piece is meticulously hand-decorated by the artist, there may be slight variations in the finish. These subtle differences are a hallmark of the artisanal process and make each plate unique.
No. Due to the luxurious 22-carat gold hand-edged rim, this plate is not microwave or dishwasher safe. Hand washing is required to prevent damage to the metallic finish.
The plate measures 6.3 inches in length. Its compact size makes it ideal for appetizers, desserts, or as a decorative accent piece in a gallery wall arrangement.
