Product Information

Full details

Designed for design enthusiasts and those who appreciate artistic tableware, the Serax Dé Dessert Plates offer a sophisticated, hand-painted aesthetic that elevates any dining experience. These fine porcelain plates feature a unique dégradé effect created through meticulous layering, providing a striking visual depth. While their artistic nature makes them a centerpiece for any table, potential buyers should note that because each piece is hand-painted, slight variations in the shadow patterns are to be expected and are inherent to the design's character.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these plates microwave safe?

While the porcelain is high quality, it is generally recommended to avoid extreme temperature shocks to protect the integrity of the hand-painted layers.

Can I use these for hot entrees?

These are primarily designed as dessert plates, but they are heat-resistant enough to handle warm foods.

How many plates come in a set?

This specific package includes a set of two dessert plates.

Are the plates uniform in design?

No, each plate is hand-painted and features unique shadow lines, which is a key design element of the Dé collection.

What is the material composition?

The plates are manufactured from high-quality fine porcelain.

Is the paint likely to fade?

The paint is applied beneath a protective glaze, which is designed to prevent fading and ensure the artwork remains vibrant with regular use.

Troubleshooting

Surface marks or scuffs after dishwasher cycle

Use a soft microfiber cloth with a small amount of vinegar to gently buff out metallic scuffs caused by contact with cutlery.

Appearance variation between two plates

This is a characteristic of the hand-painting process and not a defect. The layers are applied manually, creating unique apertures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up your table with the Dé collection involves layering the various sizes within the line to create visual interest. Because the collection features a consistent, albeit unique, design language, you can safely mix these dessert plates with the larger dinner plates or bowls from the same series.

Care instructions are straightforward due to the professional-grade glazing, but you should adhere to the following:

  1. Cleaning: These plates are dishwasher safe; however, placing them carefully to prevent hitting other ceramics is recommended to maintain the finish.
  2. Storage: Stack the plates gently to prevent edge chipping, ideally using felt dividers if storage space is tight.
  3. Usage: While dishwasher safe, avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh metal utensils that could scratch the delicate hand-painted layers over time.
