Robert Haviland Lexington Presentation Plate

Yes, this is a presentation plate, which is typically used as a charger or base plate beneath a dinner plate. While it is food-safe, its primary purpose is to elevate your table setting rather than to serve main courses directly.

You can, but proceed with caution. It is dishwasher safe only on a gentle, low-heat cycle using a non-abrasive detergent. Hand washing is highly recommended to preserve the 22K gold trim and the integrity of the hand-painted finish.

The plate features genuine 22K gold detailing. Metal accents will spark and cause damage to both the plate and your microwave, so it must be kept out of the microwave entirely.

No, and that is part of the appeal. Because each piece is meticulously hand-painted in France, you will see unique brush strokes on every plate, making each one a distinct work of art.

This plate measures 12 inches in diameter, which is a standard size for a charger or presentation plate designed to frame your dinnerware.
