Know before you buy
The platter measures 14.6 inches in length and 6.1 inches in width, providing a long, narrow surface ideal for rectangular cakes, pastries, or a selection of appetizers.
While the high-quality porcelain is durable, we recommend hand washing with mild detergent to preserve the finish and luster of the French porcelain over time.
Absolutely. Its oblong shape and refined design make it an excellent choice for serving hors d'oeuvres, cheese, charcuterie, or even as a sophisticated centerpiece for fruit.
As a piece from a historic French manufacturer, this porcelain is thinner, lighter, and more translucent than standard stoneware, yet it remains remarkably strong and chip-resistant.
The Opéra collection features a clean, timeless aesthetic that is designed to complement a wide range of Haviland patterns, making it a versatile addition to an existing porcelain set.
