Know before you buy
Yes, it is dishwasher safe, but you should use short cycles at low temperatures to protect the hand-painted gold detailing. Hand washing is recommended to preserve the finish over the long term.
No, this plate is not microwave safe. The metallic gold embellishments can cause sparking and damage the piece if exposed to microwave radiation.
The plate measures 228 mm in length and has a height of 37 mm, making it a standard size for serving soups or pasta dishes.
To maintain the luster of the matte gold, avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh detergents. Gentle cleaning with a soft cloth or sponge is sufficient to keep the design looking pristine.
The Brest collection is inspired by a 1957 design, featuring a distinct cobalt blue and gold aesthetic. It is designed to stand out as a statement piece, though it pairs beautifully with neutral or solid-colored porcelain dinnerware.
