Know before you buy
Yes, this bowl is dishwasher safe. We recommend using a gentle cycle and a mild detergent to maintain the integrity of the platinum banding over time.
No, this bowl is not microwave safe. Because it features a metallic platinum band, it should never be placed in a microwave.
The bowl measures 1.5 inches in height. Its 8.25-inch diameter and 12 oz. capacity make it well-suited for serving soups, stews, or pasta portions.
Fine bone china is renowned for its strength and chip resistance, making this piece durable enough for everyday dining. However, it should still be handled with the care typically afforded to fine dinnerware.
While the bowl is dishwasher safe, avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh scouring pads, as these can scratch the platinum finish. Stick to soft cloths or sponges to keep the metallic detailing looking pristine.
