Know before you buy
The Darley Abbey salad plate measures 8 inches (203.2 mm) in diameter, which is the standard size for a formal salad or dessert course.
Due to the delicate golden designs and the fine bone china construction, we recommend hand washing this plate to preserve the integrity of the pattern. It is not suitable for microwave use.
While the plate features a sophisticated, vintage-inspired aesthetic suitable for display, it is fully functional fine bone china and perfectly safe for serving hot or cold salad courses.
The pattern features a sophisticated sage green base accented with intricate golden detailing. The color palette is designed to evoke the restrained elegance of the 18th-century Regency era.
The fluid, scalloped edges are a design feature of the fine bone china and do not compromise the durability of the piece. However, as with any high-quality china, it should be handled with care to prevent chipping along the decorative rim.
