A row of golden dots adds metallic contrast to the otherwise black, intentionally-imperfect polka dots. The same gold accent can be found on the base, where a 10th anniversary commemorative stamp reminds you of its special story. This stunning, hand-painted detail gives this everyday dinnerware the beauty of more formal china. While Oiva dinnerware is loved for being microwave, oven, freezer, and dishwasher safe, these special edition pieces should only be hand washed and not used in the microwave to preserve the hand-painted gold trim.
