These plates are hard to find even if second hand. They are dishwasher and microwave safe. They are part of the description of the items and will provide you with the overview of item. Being handmade, slight variations and imperfections are part of the process and only add to the beauty. These plates do have chips on the edge of trim, some show more on back, some more on front.
Plate #1(pictures 3-15) has at least 7 chips, plate #2(pictures 16-24) has at least 4 chips on edge. I see no visible cracks but they might have some visible imperfections such as minor scratches, trim wear, light staining and or crazing.If you have any questions please let us know. I do not guess at any items weight or measurement ever. I actually put the item in correct size box and add packing fluff to get correct weight and closest measurements for each and every item. I do this to be as fair as possible and to keep costs down.
