Know before you buy
This collection is crafted from durable earthenware, which provides a classic, substantial feel compared to fine bone china.
Because these pieces are vintage earthenware, we recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity of the glossy finish and the delicate floral motifs. Avoid using harsh abrasives or high-heat dishwasher cycles to prevent potential crazing or fading of the red band accents.
The set includes a 10 1/2-inch dinner plate and a 3 1/8-inch flat cup with its matching saucer. These standard dimensions make them versatile for both formal dining and casual morning coffee.
Yes, this pattern features a traditional rimmed design. This style provides a defined border for the floral and paintbrush motifs, giving the plates a classic, framed appearance on the table.
Absolutely. The timeless floral design and red band accents pair beautifully with solid-colored white or cream stoneware, allowing you to incorporate vintage character into a contemporary table setting.
