Know before you buy
This dinner plate measures 10.5 inches in diameter, which is the standard size for a primary dinner course.
The plate is crafted from high-quality porcelain, known for its durability and fine, translucent finish.
Because the design features delicate gold detailing, it is recommended to hand wash the plate to preserve the integrity and luster of the metallic motif over time.
No, this plate is not microwave-safe due to the metallic gold laurel wreath design, which can spark or damage the finish.
The Golden Laurel pattern is a distinct, historical design. While it pairs beautifully with plain white porcelain, it is best to check specific collection compatibility if you intend to mix it with other patterned Herend sets.
