Know before you buy
Each set includes a dinner plate, a salad plate, a bread and butter plate, and a matching cup and saucer.
No, this set is not microwave or dishwasher safe. Due to the fine bone china material and the delicate platinum rim, we recommend hand washing only to preserve the finish.
Because the pattern is no longer in production, replacement pieces can be harder to source. We recommend handling the set with extra care to avoid chips or breakage, as matching individual pieces may require searching secondary markets.
The platinum rim is a high-quality finish, but it requires gentle care. Avoid abrasive scrubbers or harsh detergents, which can dull the metallic luster over time.
While fine bone china is known for its durability and luminous quality, the lack of dishwasher and microwave safety makes it better suited for formal dining or special occasions rather than heavy everyday use.
