FAQs
Are these plates suitable for serving full meals?
These plates are designed as bread plates, best suited for serving bread, pastries, appetizers, or small desserts. They are not intended for large main courses.
What does 'La Tavola Scomposta' collection mean?
'La Tavola Scomposta' translates to 'The Discomposed Table' in Italian. It refers to a style of setting a table where different patterns and pieces are intentionally mixed and matched for a more eclectic and personal look.
Can I use these plates in the microwave?
No, these plates should not be used in the microwave because they feature a gold-tone rim, which can cause arcing and damage the appliance and the plate.
How durable is the gold-tone rim?
The gold-tone rim adds a decorative element. While durable for normal use, it is best protected by hand washing to prevent potential discoloration or wear from dishwasher cycles.
What are the dimensions of each plate?
The product description does not specify exact dimensions, but as bread plates, they are typically around 6-8 inches in diameter.
How should I store these plates?
Store them carefully, ideally not stacked too tightly to avoid scratching the gold rim or motif. Using plate protectors between stacks can be beneficial.
Is the cloverleaf motif raised or printed?
The description indicates a 'botanical motif detail' and 'cloverleaves emblazoned at the centre', suggesting it is a printed design rather than a raised element.
Troubleshooting
Gold rim appears dull after washing
This may be due to harsh detergents or high heat in the dishwasher. Hand wash with mild soap and a soft cloth, and dry immediately. Consider using a gentler dishwasher cycle in the future.
Cloverleaf motif seems faded
Prolonged exposure to abrasive cleaners or high-heat cycles can affect the print. Hand wash gently and avoid scrubbing the printed area directly. Future washes should use mild detergents and gentle cycles.
Plate has a small chip on the rim
Due to the delicate nature of the gold rim, chips can occur with impact. While structural integrity is usually maintained, cosmetic repair is difficult. Handle with care to prevent future chipping.
