These charger plates are a great addition to your tableware collection. To use them, simply place them under your dinner plates at formal events like receptions or banquets. They also pair nicely with our placemats. When it comes to cleaning, just hold them under hot running water. But remember, don't put them in the microwave or dishwasher as they're not suitable for these. To keep them in good condition, store them in a dry place when not in use. These plates are BPA - free and food - grade, so you can use them safely. Enjoy hosting beautiful events with these elegant charger plates!
