Haviland & Parlon Lexington Camelia Charger Plate

A charger plate serves as a decorative base for your dinnerware. It is designed to frame your plates, add visual interest to the table setting, and protect the tablecloth during the initial courses of a meal.

No, charger plates are strictly decorative and are not intended for direct food contact. You should always place a dinner plate or salad plate on top of the charger.

Yes, the 12-inch diameter is a standard, generous size that accommodates most dinner plates comfortably, creating a balanced and polished look for formal place settings.

To preserve the finish and pattern, we recommend hand washing these plates with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh dishwashers, which can damage the decorative surface over time.

The Lexington pattern is designed with a refined, classic aesthetic that is versatile enough to complement both solid-colored dinnerware and more intricate, patterned collections. Its neutral elegance makes it a reliable foundation for various table themes.
