Know before you buy
No, this plate is not microwave safe. The 24k gold detailing is a metallic finish that will spark and cause damage if placed in a microwave.
While the ceramic is durable, we recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity of the 24k gold trim and the vibrancy of the hand-painted details over time.
Yes, because each plate is meticulously handmade and decorated in Italy, you may notice slight variations in the brushwork or color application. These nuances are a hallmark of authentic artisanal craftsmanship rather than a defect.
The plate measures 10½ inches in diameter, which is a standard and generous size for a main course. It provides ample space for elegant plating and works well as the centerpiece of a formal table setting.
The design features a sophisticated layering of blue tones against a lighter blue background. The contrast is intentional and balanced, creating a deep, rich aesthetic that feels both traditional and modern.
