Know before you buy
Each set includes one dinner plate, one salad plate, one bread and butter plate, one teacup, and one matching saucer.
No, this collection is not microwave or dishwasher safe. Due to the delicate gold detailing, we recommend hand washing these pieces to preserve the finish.
Because this pattern is no longer in production, replacement pieces can be difficult to source. We recommend handling the porcelain with care, as it is not specifically chip-resistant.
The gold lines are a decorative feature that requires gentle care. To maintain the luster of the gold accents, avoid abrasive scrubbers and harsh detergents during cleaning.
While the porcelain is durable, the gold trim and non-dishwasher-safe nature make this set better suited for formal dining or special occasions rather than daily wear.
