Haviland & Parlon Colette Dinner Plate

Yes, the fine china construction is durable enough for regular dishwasher use. We recommend using a gentle cycle and a mild detergent to preserve the integrity of the floral motif and colored rim over time.

While fine china is generally heat-resistant, we advise against using this plate in the microwave. The delicate nature of the material and the specific glaze used for the Camelia pattern can be compromised by rapid temperature fluctuations.

This plate is significantly lighter and thinner than standard stoneware. It offers the refined, delicate feel characteristic of high-quality fine china, making it better suited for formal table settings rather than heavy-duty daily use.

Fine china is relatively resilient, but like all high-end porcelain, it can show 'metal marking' or fine scratches if you use serrated knives or apply heavy pressure. We recommend using standard dinnerware and avoiding aggressive scraping to keep the surface pristine.

The color is applied with high-quality pigments designed to withstand standard care. As long as you avoid abrasive scouring pads and harsh chemical cleaners, the rim will maintain its vibrancy for years.
