Villeroy & Boch Manufacture Rock Plate

While the matte finish is designed to be durable, it is a textured surface. Like all matte-finished porcelain, it can occasionally show faint marks from metal cutlery over time, though these are typically superficial and do not affect the integrity of the plate.

Yes, this plate is dishwasher safe. The through-colored porcelain construction is designed to withstand regular cleaning cycles without losing its slate-like texture or finish.

The texture is subtle enough that it does not trap food particles easily. It cleans up just as easily as a smooth plate, though you may want to avoid using abrasive scouring pads to preserve the matte finish.

Because of the artisanal-inspired glazing process, each plate features subtle variations in tone and texture. This is intentional and designed to give the collection an organic, stone-like character rather than a mass-produced look.

While the material is high-quality porcelain, we generally recommend checking the base of your specific piece for the microwave-safe icon, as matte finishes can sometimes react differently to high heat than glazed surfaces.
