Know before you buy
This collection is crafted from bone china, which is known for its durability and translucent, refined appearance.
No, this pattern is not dishwasher, microwave, oven, or freezer safe. We recommend hand washing these pieces to preserve the delicate rose and band detailing.
The current selection includes a 2 7/8" footed cup and saucer set, as well as an 11" dinner plate.
While the bone china is durable, the intricate design and discontinued status make this set better suited for special occasions or as a collectible rather than heavy daily use.
The pattern features a sophisticated blend of blue twisted detailing and yellow rose bands, offering a warm, editorial look that fits well with formal table settings.
