Versace By Rosenthal Butterfly Garden Service Plate

A service plate, or charger, acts as an underplate for your dinnerware. It frames the meal and protects the table surface, remaining on the table throughout the first few courses before being cleared away before the main entree.

While it is technically possible, service plates are designed primarily for presentation rather than direct dining. Because of its large 13-inch diameter, it is best used as a decorative base for smaller dinner plates or bowls.

To preserve the intricate design and finish, we recommend hand washing this plate with a gentle detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could damage the decorative elements.

Due to the delicate nature of the craftsmanship and the potential for metallic or intricate detailing, this plate is not recommended for microwave use. We strongly advise hand washing to maintain the integrity of the design over time.

Yes, 13 inches is a standard, generous size for a service plate. However, ensure your dining table has enough width to accommodate the plate alongside your glassware and flatware without the setting feeling overcrowded.
