Know before you buy
No, this plate is not microwave safe. The presence of metallic gold embellishments poses a safety risk if placed in a microwave.
Yes, it is dishwasher safe, but we recommend using a gentle cycle with a mild detergent to preserve the hand-painted gold details and the integrity of the finish over time.
The plate measures 253 mm in length and has a height of 27 mm, making it a standard size for main courses.
The gold accents are hand-painted and high-quality, but they are delicate. To keep the finish shimmering, avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh cleaning agents when washing.
Each plate weighs 573 grams, providing a substantial, high-quality feel that is characteristic of premium porcelain without being overly cumbersome to handle.
