Haviland Damassé Ritz Paris Underplate

This is a charger plate, or underplate, designed to serve as a decorative base for your dinnerware. It remains on the table throughout the meal to frame your place setting and is typically removed before dessert is served.

With a 12.5-inch diameter, this underplate is generously sized to accommodate most standard dinner plates. It provides a substantial border, ensuring your dinnerware sits comfortably in the center without obscuring the intricate pattern.

The pattern is crafted to mimic the look of woven silk, but the surface remains smooth and glazed. It is designed for standard care, though we recommend hand washing to preserve the gold detailing and the integrity of the porcelain finish.

While durable enough for formal dining, this underplate is best reserved for special occasions or curated table settings. The delicate gold detailing and the collaboration design make it a statement piece rather than an everyday essential.

Yes, the Damassé design is versatile enough to anchor both solid-colored dinnerware and more ornate patterns. Its neutral, sophisticated aesthetic is intended to complement, rather than compete with, your existing fine china collection.
