Know before you buy
The Portofino plate has a diameter of 6.4 inches and a height of 0.8 inches, making it perfectly sized for a standard bread roll or side serving.
No, these plates are not dishwasher, microwave, oven, or freezer safe. To preserve the delicate porcelain and the Portofino pattern, we recommend hand washing them gently.
While the porcelain is high-quality and crafted by a renowned French maker, it is not chip-resistant. It is best suited for formal dining or careful daily use rather than heavy-duty kitchen tasks.
These plates are not designed to be stackable. We recommend using protective felt dividers between each plate if you plan to store them in a stack to prevent scratching or chipping.
The Portofino pattern features a sophisticated, elegant design that reflects Haviland’s long history of French porcelain artistry. It is intended to add a refined, classic touch to both formal table settings and elevated casual meals.
