Know before you buy
Because this collection is not dishwasher safe, you must hand-wash all pieces using a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges or scouring pads to protect the delicate platinum trim and floral motif.
No, the Amherst collection is not microwave, oven, or freezer safe. The metallic platinum trim will spark in the microwave, and the fine bone china is susceptible to thermal shock if exposed to extreme temperature changes.
While Wedgwood bone china is renowned for its quality, this specific pattern is designed for formal dining rather than heavy daily use. It is not chip-resistant, so it requires careful handling during storage and service.
The Leigh shape is a specific Wedgwood silhouette characterized by its elegant, classic profile and rimmed edges. It provides a traditional aesthetic that complements the sophisticated blue floral pattern.
No, these pieces are not designed to be stacked. To prevent scratching the platinum rims and damaging the finish, we recommend using plate dividers or felt protectors between each piece when storing them.
