These charger plates are a great addition to your dinner parties. Just place them on the table before setting the regular plates on top. They'll add a touch of elegance to your table setting. When it comes to cleaning, simply rinse them under hot water. Remember, do not put them in the microwave or dishwasher as this can damage the plates. After cleaning, dry them with a soft cloth. Store them in a dry place to keep them in good condition. They're perfect for formal events like receptions and banquets, and also pair nicely with our placemats.
