- Is it really dishwasher and microwave safe?
- Yes, Villeroy & Boch lists both. Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as moving it straight from the freezer to the microwave.
- How big is it compared with a standard dinner plate?
- At 10.63 inches it is on the larger side of standard dinner plates, with room for a full meal without crowding the rim.
- Can I buy it as a set?
- This listing is a single plate. Sets and other Cellini pieces are sold separately, so check the piece count before ordering.
- Is bone china fragile for everyday use?
- Bone china is stronger than it looks but still chips more easily than stoneware. Stack it with a felt or paper separator to protect the rims.
- Is the Cellini plate worth it for one plate?
- If you are matching an existing Cellini set, yes, since the pattern is hard to find elsewhere. Starting a new set from scratch gets expensive quickly.
- How does it compare with plain white porcelain plates?
- The bone china body and embossed basketweave rim give it a dressier look than flat porcelain, and it is lighter in tone than many stoneware plates while staying dishwasher and microwave safe.
- Where is the Villeroy & Boch Cellini cheapest?
- At Replacements Ltd., for $33.99, as of our latest check.
