Know before you buy
This collection is adapted from 18th-century Chinese export porcelain designs held in the Winterthur Museum and Garden archives. It features a traditional bouquet-in-a-basket motif framed by the iconic blue and white Fitzhugh border.
No, this dinnerware is not dishwasher, microwave, or oven safe. Due to the delicate nature of the fine porcelain and the intricate design, we recommend hand washing all pieces to preserve the finish.
This collection is crafted as fine decorative porcelain rather than everyday stoneware. It is not chip-resistant, so it is best reserved for special occasions and formal dining rather than heavy daily use.
The dinner plates measure 10.5 inches in diameter, while the dessert bowls have a 5-inch diameter. Please note that the collection also includes specific sizes for bread and butter plates at 8 inches and medium platters at 13.75 inches.
These pieces are not designed to be stackable. To prevent scratching or chipping the glossy finish, we recommend storing them with protective felt dividers between each plate.
