What customers say

Know before you buy
Each set provides a complete foundation for one person, consisting of a dinner plate, a salad plate, a bread and butter plate, a teacup, and a matching saucer.
Because the English Garden pattern is no longer in production, you will need to rely on secondary markets and vintage retailers to source additional pieces or replacements. It is a popular choice for collectors, so while pieces are available, they may require some dedicated searching.
While the set is crafted from fine porcelain with a glossy finish suitable for formal dining, it is best treated as heirloom-quality dinnerware. To preserve the integrity of the floral motifs and the finish, hand washing is recommended over frequent dishwasher use.
The motifs are quite prominent, featuring large-scale red and yellow blooms. They provide a bold, classic aesthetic that serves as a focal point for your table setting rather than a subtle background pattern.
The traditional rimmed design adds a formal, elegant profile to the plates. While this style is visually sophisticated, keep in mind that rimmed plates typically take up slightly more vertical space in a china cabinet compared to coupe-style dinnerware.
