Haviland & Parlon Lexington Charger Plate

A charger plate acts as a decorative base for your dinnerware. It is designed to remain on the table throughout the meal to frame the dinner plate, adding a layer of visual interest and protection for the tablecloth.

No, this piece is intended strictly as a presentation plate or charger. It should be layered underneath your dinner plate rather than used for serving food directly.

The 12-inch size is standard for formal dining, providing enough surface area to create a substantial, polished look without overwhelming standard dinner plates. It ensures a balanced, symmetrical appearance when layered with your existing tableware.

Because each piece is handcrafted in France, you can expect artisanal variations that make every plate unique. This commitment to traditional craftsmanship ensures a level of detail and quality that mass-produced dinnerware cannot replicate.

To preserve the finish and artisanal details, we recommend hand washing these plates with a gentle detergent. Avoid using abrasive sponges or high-heat dishwasher cycles, which can compromise the delicate surface over time.
