Gien Filet Dinner Plate

Yes, Gien earthenware is durable enough for regular dishwasher use. We recommend using a gentle cycle and a mild detergent to preserve the finish over time.

While Gien earthenware is high-quality, it is generally not recommended for microwave use. Sudden temperature changes can cause stress to the material, so it is best to avoid it.

The Filet pattern is glazed, which provides a protective layer against everyday use. Like all earthenware, it can show minor surface marks from sharp metal knives over time, but it remains highly resistant to standard wear.

This plate has a substantial, high-quality feel characteristic of traditional French earthenware. It is not overly heavy, but it offers a sturdy, grounded presence on the table compared to fine bone china.

Because these plates are crafted using traditional techniques, there can be very slight variations in the hand-applied border. This is a hallmark of authentic earthenware and adds to the charm of the collection.
