Know before you buy
Yes, the Pillivuyt Brasserie plate is designed to withstand high heat, including direct broiler use, thanks to its high-quality, oven-safe porcelain construction.
Pillivuyt porcelain is fired at exceptionally high temperatures, resulting in an impenetrable, non-porous glaze that is significantly more resistant to scratching, chipping, and crazing than standard ceramic dinnerware.
No, the design is integrated into the glaze during the firing process. It will not fade, peel, or wear off, even with daily dishwasher use.
Yes, the dense, high-fired porcelain has excellent thermal properties, meaning it holds heat effectively to keep your food at the desired temperature longer than thinner, mass-produced plates.
Because the glaze is completely non-porous and hygienic, it will not absorb odors, flavors, or colors, making it highly resistant to staining from acidic ingredients like tomato sauce or lemon.
