Embossed Pumpkin Plate Halloween Collection

Simons Maison's 7-inch Embossed Pumpkin Plate offers a durable, glazed ceramic design with a uniform glossy black finish, functioning as both a side/dessert plate and Halloween decor. Its embossed motif is stain- and scratch-resistant, dishwasher and microwave safe, and typically adds $5–10 in value to seasonal tableware.
