Know before you buy
No, because the plate features a 24k gold trim, it is not safe for use in the microwave. Metal accents can spark and damage both the piece and your appliance.
While the porcelain itself is durable, the delicate 24k gold trim and airbrushed finish are best preserved by hand washing. We recommend using a mild detergent and a soft cloth to maintain the luster of the gold.
The Antico Doccia is a classic Richard Ginori shape characterized by its elegant, timeless silhouette and refined proportions. It serves as the signature canvas for the Oriente Italiano collection, balancing traditional Italian craftsmanship with a modern aesthetic.
This plate is designed for both formal dining and decorative display. While it is food-safe and durable enough for special meals, its intricate design and gold detailing make it a standout piece that many collectors choose to reserve for elevated hosting.
The airbrush technique creates a soft, ethereal gradient within the 'garofano' (carnation) pattern. This method allows for subtle transitions in the burgundy and pink hues, giving the design a depth and painterly quality that hand-painting alone cannot achieve.
