Using these charger plates is a breeze. Just place them on your dining table before setting the regular dinner plates on top. They're great for formal events like receptions and banquets. When it comes to cleaning, don't use the microwave or dishwasher. Instead, simply rinse them under hot water. Remember, the sale only includes the charger plates, so you'll need to get other decorative items separately. Keep them in a dry place to maintain their beautiful Hunter Emerald Green and Gold finish.
