FAQs

Are these plates microwave safe?

No, these plates are not recommended for microwave use due to the hand-painted elements.

How is the 'dégradé' effect achieved?

The 'dégradé' effect is created by meticulously hand-painting the plates in several layers, with edges painted to different depths, resulting in a dynamic interplay of lines and variations in 'aperture'.

Can I mix and match these red plates with other colors from the 'Dé' collection?

Yes, these plates are designed to be mixed with other pieces from the 'Dé' collection to create unique and striking tabletop arrangements.

What does 'aperture' refer to in the description?

In this context, 'aperture' refers to the perceived opening or variation at the edges of the plate, created by the different depths of the hand-painted finish.

How many plates are included in this set?

This is a set of two breakfast plates.

What are the dimensions of the breakfast plates?

Product dimensions are not specified in the provided information, but they are designed as breakfast plates.

Is the hand-painted finish durable?

The finish is designed to be durable and dishwasher safe. However, for optimal longevity and to maintain the intricate details, gentle handling and occasional hand-washing are recommended.

Troubleshooting

Paint chipping or fading

Ensure plates are loaded carefully in the dishwasher to prevent collisions. Hand-washing with a soft sponge is the gentlest method for long-term preservation of the painted details.

Uneven color distribution noticed

This is an intentional characteristic of the 'dégradé' hand-painted design, creating unique variations and depth. Embrace these subtle differences as part of the artistic appeal.

Plate is not completely flat or has minor imperfections

Minor variations are inherent to the handmade nature of the product and contribute to its artisanal charm. These are not considered defects but rather features of handcrafted ceramics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These plates require no specific setup beyond being ready to use straight out of the packaging. They are designed to be compatible with standard dishwasher cycles for easy cleaning. To care for your 'Dégradé' plates and preserve the hand-painted finish:

  1. Dishwasher Use: Place plates in the dishwasher ensuring they do not excessively bump against other items, especially sharp edges.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild dishwasher detergent.
  3. Avoid Harsh Scrubbing: While dishwasher safe, avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh cleaners directly on the painted surfaces if hand-washing.
  4. Hand-Washing (Optional): If choosing to hand-wash, use warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
  5. Microwave: These plates are not recommended for microwave use due to the painted elements.
