Know before you buy
The set includes five essential pieces designed for a complete formal place setting. Please note that this refers to a single person's setting, typically consisting of a dinner plate, salad plate, bread and butter plate, teacup, and saucer.
No, this fine porcelain is not dishwasher, microwave, oven, or freezer safe. Due to the delicate nature of the 18th-century inspired design and finish, we recommend hand washing these pieces to preserve their integrity.
While the porcelain is of high quality, these pieces are not chip-resistant and are best suited for special occasions or formal dining rather than everyday heavy use. They require careful handling to maintain their glossy finish and intricate illustrations.
The pattern is adapted from 18th-century designs by James Giles, a renowned decorator of Chelsea porcelain. It captures the artistic style of that era, specifically featuring the detailed bird illustrations that made Giles' work highly collectible.
No, these pieces are not designed to be stacked. Because of their fine porcelain construction and specific rimmed shape, we recommend using plate dividers or felt protectors if you plan to store them in a cabinet to prevent scratching.
