No, not exactly, There are in the Vatican several sets of plates which are vermeil however. Vermeil is another term for a 'plating.' For example, many homes have dishes and cutlery, even jewellery which contain vermeil plating. It's a common feature. Most often you might see a white plate with a cobalt blue band around the edging and along the very tip of the edge there's a tiny band of gold colour- that would be described as vermeil as well.
It would be impractical to use solid gold plates as it's an inherently soft metal. Consequently, each time a knife or the forceful edge of a fork could remove fragments of the gold, rather quickly deteriorating the plate.
Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth has numerous sets of plates which have sustained over history which are used as presentation plates, for when people are seated and served the equivalent of a 'starter.' But invariably, those plates, which in fact are also vermeil, but a very deep and rich application of vermeil, could suffer the same damage.
There's an old phrase that goes; not all that glitters is gold.
I think this justly applies to the Vatican...in more ways than one!

Well, honey, gold may be fancy and all that jazz, but it's just not practical for plates. It's way too soft, so your fork and knife would leave marks all over it like a bad tattoo. Plus, it's a real show-off move to eat off gold plates - save that for the Kardashians. Stick to good ol' porcelain or stainless steel for your dining needs.
