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 dishwasher, microwave, oven, or freezer safe. Due to the delicate platinum trim and fine bone china construction, these pieces should be hand-washed only.
Because the set is no longer in production, it is important to handle the pieces with extra care to prevent chips or damage. We recommend hand-washing with a mild detergent and using soft cloths for drying to preserve the platinum trim and pearlescent finish.
These pieces are not designed to be stackable. To avoid scratching the platinum trim or damaging the pearlescent rim, we recommend using plate dividers or felt protectors between each piece when storing.
Like most fine china with metallic accents, the platinum trim can be sensitive to harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaning tools. Proper hand-washing and immediate drying will help maintain the luster of the trim over time.
