Know before you buy
Each set includes a dinner plate, a salad plate, a bread and butter plate, a teacup, and a matching saucer.
No, this collection is not microwave or dishwasher safe. Due to the fine bone china construction and delicate design, we recommend hand washing only to preserve the finish.
Because the Nightscape pattern is no longer in production, handle each piece with extra care. Avoid stacking them directly on top of one another to prevent scratching or chipping, and always hand wash with a mild detergent.
No, this set is not suitable for oven or freezer use. Rapid temperature changes can cause the fine bone china to crack or break.
The collection features a sophisticated, minimalist look defined by crisp black lines and bands accented by subtle white dots. It offers a timeless, high-contrast aesthetic that works well for both formal dining and modern table settings.
