The Adonis Blue Butterfly plates are the kind of unique decorative dessert plate that earns immediate attention at any table. For a coastal-inspired modern table: layer over our Coastal Chinoiserie or Indigo Wildflower dinner plates for a richly tonal blue tablescape. For maximum butterfly impact, layer over a clean solid white dinner plate (our Alpine Snow or Amalfi Textured Rim sets) so the cobalt butterfly reads as a flying jewel against a clean canvas. Particularly beautiful for spring brunches, garden parties, bridal showers, or any moment that wants a touch of unexpected whimsy.

A butterfly mid-flight, fired into porcelain. The Adonis Blue Butterfly porcelain dessert plates feature a vivid cobalt blue butterfly motif on glossy white porcelain — the kind of butterfly plate that turns a simple slice of cake or a layered place setting into something genuinely memorable. Inspired by the Adonis Blue butterfly (Polyommatus bellargus), one of Europe's most strikingly colored species, these plates bring a moment of unexpected wonder to any table.
This set of 4 porcelain dessert plates measures 8" across — the ideal layering and dessert-plate size. The vivid cobalt blue butterfly pattern is fired into glossy porcelain, holding its color and detail through years of use. A matching tea cup and saucer (sold separately) completes the place setting.
frequently asked questions
Collapsible content
Are these plates dishwasher safe?
Yes — fully dishwasher safe. No metallic trim to worry about.
Are they microwave safe?
Yes — safe for daily reheating and use.
Will the butterfly pattern fade?
No. The cobalt blue butterfly pattern is fired into the porcelain glaze, not surface-printed, so it holds its color through years of dishwasher cycles.
What size are they?
8 inches in diameter — the ideal dessert, layering, and small-plate size.
What can I use these for besides dessert?
A lot. At 8", they work beautifully as layering plates over a dinner plate (the butterfly reads as a flying ornament on the place setting), salad plates, breakfast plates, appetizer plates, or as charming display pieces.
What's an Adonis Blue butterfly?
The Adonis Blue (Polyommatus bellargus) is a small European butterfly known for its strikingly vivid cobalt-blue wings — one of the most photographed butterflies in nature. The pattern on these plates is inspired by its distinctive coloring.
Is there a matching tea cup?
Yes — a matching tea cup and saucer in the same Adonis Blue butterfly pattern is available to complete the place setting.
Are these porcelain or ceramic?
Fine porcelain with a glossy finish.
Are these a good gift?
Yes — particularly meaningful for butterfly lovers, nature enthusiasts, gardeners, and anyone who appreciates unique, hand-decorated dinnerware. Pairs beautifully as a hostess gift with the matching tea cup and saucer.
What plates pair well with these?
For a tonal blue table, layer over our Coastal Chinoiserie or Indigo Wildflower dinner plates. For maximum butterfly impact against a clean canvas, layer over solid white dinner plates from our Alpine Snow or Amalfi Textured Rim sets.
