Made in collaboration between Italian ceramic experts Bitossi Home & Milanese lifestyle label La Double J., Maximal Dessert Plate Set includes six fine porcelain plates with hand painted gold trim, each featuring a different vintage pattern.
Each set features prints from the Mantero Silk Archive, on Lake Como:
- Ombrellini designed in 1976 by the Corisia Archive
- Papaveri designed in 1963 by Susanne Kientz
- Pavone a toile de Jouy design from the 18th century
- Fenice designed in 1968 by Archivio Sergio Bini

Be sure to channel your inner Milanese housewife and skip the dishwasher with these precious plates. We know that washing a mano is a major pain, but all that’s gold won’t be glittering anymore if they hit the suds cycle. Meanwhile, that gold trim is painted entirely by hand, so the gorgeous imperfections are all part of the artisanal Italian package.
*Only Set of 6 Salad Plates / Set of Soup Plate & Dinner Plate comes with La Double J branded box & care card.
