Know before you buy
Each set provides a complete service for one person, consisting of a dinner plate, a salad plate, a bread and butter plate, a teacup, and a matching saucer.
Because this set features delicate gold banding and raised detailing, it is not dishwasher, microwave, or oven safe. We recommend hand washing these pieces gently with a mild detergent to preserve the integrity of the gold trim and the textured finish.
While fine bone china is known for its strength, this specific pattern is not chip-resistant and is designed primarily for formal dining and special occasions rather than daily wear and tear.
These pieces are not designed to be stackable. Due to the raised fruit and leaf motifs and the fine nature of the china, it is best to store them individually or with protective felt separators to prevent scratching or chipping.
Yes, the manufacturer notes that this product is not lead-free. This is common in many vintage and classic fine china patterns that utilize metallic accents.
