Know before you buy
The Athena Platinum bread and butter plate measures 6¼ inches in diameter, which is the standard size for serving bread rolls or small appetizers.
The platinum motif is meticulously applied to high-quality Limoges porcelain. To preserve the integrity of the matt and shiny finishes, we recommend hand washing rather than using a dishwasher.
No, this plate is not microwave safe. The intricate platinum plating contains metallic elements that will spark and damage the finish if exposed to microwave energy.
Yes, this plate is designed to coordinate perfectly with the full Athena Platinum dinnerware set. The graphic square motif and platinum finish are consistent across all pieces in the collection.
The plate features a sophisticated contrast between matt and shiny platinum textures. This interplay of finishes creates a subtle, multidimensional look that catches the light differently than standard solid-finish dinnerware.
