Know before you buy
A service plate, or charger, is designed to act as a base for your dinnerware throughout the meal. It adds a layer of formality to your table setting and protects the tablecloth from heat and spills.
Because this plate features delicate platinum detailing, we recommend hand washing to preserve the luster and prevent the metallic finish from fading or scratching over time.
While it is designed as a service plate, it is crafted from high-quality porcelain and is food-safe. However, it is typically used as a decorative base plate rather than for serving main courses directly.
At 11.6 inches, this plate is larger than a standard dinner plate, which usually measures between 10 and 10.5 inches. This extra width ensures that your dinner plate sits comfortably inside the rim, creating a balanced and professional look.
Yes, the Opaline collection’s refined and classic aesthetic is designed to be versatile. Its neutral platinum detailing allows it to complement both minimalist white dinnerware and more ornate, patterned sets.
