Know before you buy
This plate measures 6 3/8 inches in diameter, which is the standard size for a traditional bread and butter plate.
Because this piece is crafted from fine bone china and features a delicate gold trim, it is not recommended for microwave or dishwasher use. Hand washing is necessary to preserve the integrity of the gold detailing and the floral motif.
The Serena pattern is characterized by its specific pink rose and floral motif paired with a thin gold rim. To ensure a match, compare the floral arrangement and the specific shade of pink against your current pieces, as Royal Albert produced many similar rose-themed patterns during that era.
As these plates are vintage, the gold trim may show varying degrees of wear depending on their previous use. We recommend inspecting the rim for any thinning or fading, which is common in pieces of this age.
Yes, while designed for bread and butter, this 6 3/8-inch plate is also perfectly sized for serving small appetizers, desserts, or tea-time accompaniments.
