Know before you buy
Due to the delicate nature of the hand-painted pure gold ornament, we recommend hand washing this plate to preserve the integrity and luster of the finish.
No, this piece is not microwave safe. The presence of metallic gold trim poses a safety risk and can cause damage to both the plate and your appliance.
The plate measures 6.75 inches in diameter. While designed as a bread plate, its size also makes it an excellent choice for serving small appetizers, desserts, or individual cheese portions.
The Antico Doccia shape is a signature Richard Ginori silhouette characterized by its elegant, slightly scalloped edges and historical 18th-century proportions. It provides a sophisticated, classic foundation that allows the hand-painted gold floral motifs to stand out.
This product is sold as a single 6.75-inch bread plate. Because each piece is hand-painted, you may notice slight variations that make every plate a unique work of art.
