Know before you buy
The dinner plate measures 10 3/4 inches in diameter, while the footed cup stands 3 inches tall.
No, this china is not suitable for the dishwasher, microwave, oven, or freezer. We recommend hand washing these pieces to preserve the delicate floral pattern and finish.
The coupe style refers to a rimless, smooth-edged design that creates a seamless, modern silhouette. This shape is distinct from traditional plates that feature a wide, flat border.
Because these pieces are vintage, they are not chip-resistant and should be handled with care. Avoid stacking them directly on top of one another to prevent scratching or chipping the smooth finish.
The Kathleen collection is crafted from high-quality porcelain china. This material provides the refined, smooth aesthetic characteristic of Royal Doulton's vintage dinnerware.
