Know before you buy
Yes, the Aiken Collection is designed to be cohesive. Mixing the Fox and Hound motifs creates a layered, curated look that feels intentional and traditional.
This plate is specifically sized for smaller courses, making it ideal for a side salad, a starter, or a plated dessert. It is not intended to serve as a full-sized dinner plate.
The traditional aesthetic of the Aiken plate pairs best with classic white porcelain or simple, solid-colored dinnerware. Its detailed pattern serves as a focal point, so it works well when balanced against more minimalist pieces.
Absolutely. The sophisticated design is inspired by classic equestrian themes, making it a perfect choice for formal luncheons, holiday dinners, or refined evening gatherings.
To preserve the integrity of the design, we recommend hand washing these plates with a mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the surface or dull the pattern over time.
