FAQs

Can I put these plates in the dishwasher?

No, these plates are not dishwasher safe. The 22-carat gold accents may fade or become damaged by dishwasher chemicals and high heat.

Are these plates microwave safe?

No, because they feature real gold accents, they should never be placed in a microwave.

What is the diameter of these plates?

Each plate in this set measures 20cm in diameter, making them ideal side or cake plates.

What material are the plates made from?

The plates are crafted from fine bone china, known for its strength, durability, and translucent appearance.

Does the set include designs from the 1950s?

No, this specific 5-piece set features designs exclusively from the 1900-1940 period.

Troubleshooting

Visible spots on gold rim after washing

Immediately dry the plates with a soft, lint-free cloth after washing to prevent water spots from settling on the gold trim.

Dull appearance of china

Ensure all soap residue is rinsed away completely using warm, mild soapy water and buff gently with a microfiber cloth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Authentic vintage aesthetic spanning five distinct decades
  • High-quality fine bone china construction
  • Sophisticated 22-carat gold accents
  • Perfect for collectors or as a high-end gift
  • Distinctive ruffled edge design

Cons

  • Not suitable for microwave use due to gold accents

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Royal Albert set in pristine condition, it is essential to follow specific maintenance guidelines. Due to the fine bone china material and the application of 22-carat gold, these plates are strictly hand-wash only; using an abrasive sponge or harsh detergents can wear down the gold leaf over time. These plates are not compatible with microwaves, as the metallic content will cause sparking. For storage, it is recommended to use plate dividers or felt protectors between each piece if stacking them, preventing the ruffled edges from chipping and ensuring the gold trim remains unscratched.
