Know before you buy
No, this piece is not microwave or dishwasher safe. Due to its vintage nature and ceramic composition, we recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity of the floral pattern.
The plate measures 10.75 inches in diameter, which is a standard size for a main dinner plate.
This is a vintage piece from a discontinued Gien collection. While it is being sold as a single unit, it is intended for collectors or those looking to add a unique, historical touch to their existing tableware.
The plate is crafted from high-quality ceramic, consistent with the traditional manufacturing standards of the Gien brand in France.
This listing is for a single unit. Because the Libellules collection is discontinued, finding matching pieces can be challenging, making this an ideal item for those looking to complete a set or acquire a standalone decorative piece.
