Know before you buy
This service plate measures 11 inches in diameter, making it a standard size for formal dining presentations.
The pattern is meticulously hand-painted by Herend artisans. Each scale is layered individually to create the signature shimmering optical effect.
To preserve the hand-painted details and the integrity of the fine porcelain, we recommend hand washing with mild detergent rather than using a dishwasher.
While it is categorized as a service plate—often used as a charger or base plate under a smaller dinner plate—it is food-safe and can be used for serving main courses if desired.
Yes, because every plate is hand-painted, there may be subtle variations in the brushwork and color application, which is a hallmark of authentic Herend craftsmanship.
