Know before you buy
This dessert plate follows the standard Gien sizing for the category, typically measuring approximately 8 to 9 inches in diameter, which is ideal for cake, fruit, or pastries.
To maintain the integrity of the holly pattern and the glaze, we recommend hand washing these plates with a mild detergent. Avoid using harsh abrasive sponges or high-heat cycles in the dishwasher, which can cause fading or crazing over time.
While these plates are crafted with the high-quality earthenware Gien is known for, they are functional pieces designed for dining. They are durable enough for occasional festive use, though collectors may prefer to limit handling to preserve their pristine condition.
The holly pattern is applied as a smooth, decorative glaze finish. The surface is uniform, making it easy to clean and comfortable to use as a functional plate.
Yes, Gien pieces are often designed with a consistent aesthetic that allows for layering. The classic holly motif pairs beautifully with plain white or cream-colored dinnerware, allowing the festive pattern to serve as an accent piece.
