  • Vivid cobalt-blue butterfly pattern inspired by the Adonis Blue butterfly
  • 8" diameter — perfect dessert, layering, or small-plate size
  • Glossy porcelain finish that makes the cobalt blue pop

Style Notes

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.
