Know before you buy
No, this collection is not microwave safe. The intricate 22-carat gold detailing will spark and cause damage if placed in a microwave.
While the fine bone china is durable enough for occasional dishwasher use, we strongly recommend handwashing to protect the integrity of the gold accents and ensure the pattern remains vibrant over time.
The collection includes a comprehensive range of essential dining pieces: a dinner plate, salad plate, fluted dessert plate, bread and butter plate, rim soup bowl, tea cup, and tea saucer.
Yes, the fine bone china is food safe and durable enough for regular dining. However, given the delicate gold detailing, it is best treated as a premium set for special occasions or elevated daily meals.
Every piece in the Old Imari collection is crafted in England, adhering to the brand's long-standing tradition of superior craftsmanship and quality.
