Know before you buy
Due to the delicate nature of the porcelain and the 'Or' (gold) accents, this plate is not dishwasher, microwave, oven, or freezer safe. We recommend hand washing with a soft cloth and mild detergent to preserve the integrity of the pattern.
Yes, 10.2 inches is a standard and versatile size for a dinner plate. It provides ample space for main courses while fitting comfortably on most standard dining tables and chargers.
The Opéra pattern features a sophisticated, timeless aesthetic that pairs beautifully with solid-colored fine china or minimalist glassware. Its elegant design is intended to serve as a focal point, making it an excellent choice for curated, eclectic table settings.
Haviland has been producing fine French porcelain since 1842, known for its exceptional translucency, durability, and refined finish. Unlike standard ceramic, this high-quality porcelain is fired at higher temperatures, resulting in a thinner, lighter, and more resilient piece.
The 'Or' accent is a high-quality decorative finish applied to the porcelain. To ensure the longevity of the gold detailing, avoid abrasive sponges or harsh cleaning chemicals, and always hand wash the plates.
