Know before you buy
The charger acts as a decorative base plate for your dinnerware. It is designed to frame your plates and elevate the visual presentation of your table setting, rather than being used for direct food service.
To preserve the reactive gold finish, hand wash the charger with a soft sponge and mild, non-abrasive soap. Avoid using the dishwasher or harsh scouring pads, as these can damage the delicate metallic patina.
Yes, the 12.5-inch size is intentionally generous to accommodate standard dinner plates while leaving a visible border of the gold finish. It provides a substantial, formal look that works well with most standard-sized dinnerware.
Earthenware is a durable, substantial material, giving the charger a solid, high-quality weight. While it is sturdy, it should be handled with care to avoid chipping the edges or scratching the gold reactive surface.
The Alchimie Gold Charger features a reactive finish, which means the patina is designed to have a unique, nuanced character. While it is crafted for longevity, the finish may develop subtle variations that enhance its artisanal, one-of-a-kind aesthetic.
