Know before you buy
The five-piece place setting typically includes a dinner plate, a salad plate, a bread and butter plate, a teacup, and a matching saucer.
No, the White Dolphins pattern was officially discontinued by Wedgwood in 2004. Because it is no longer in production, it is primarily available through secondary markets and vintage retailers.
While the set is crafted from high-quality fine porcelain, it is designed to balance elegance with functionality. It is suitable for everyday use, though you should handle it with the care typically required for fine china to prevent chipping or scratching.
The pattern features a sophisticated, coastal-inspired aesthetic with delicate dolphin and shell motifs. Its rimmed, round shape and white-on-white detailing offer a timeless, subtle elegance that complements both formal dining and casual table settings.
As this is a vintage fine porcelain set discontinued in 2004, it is recommended to hand wash these pieces to preserve the integrity of the delicate motifs. We advise against using them in the microwave unless the specific backstamp on your individual pieces indicates otherwise.
