Know before you buy
Each place setting includes a dinner plate, a salad plate, a bread and butter plate, and a matching cup and saucer.
Because Alana is a retired pattern, it is no longer in production. We recommend purchasing extra place settings upfront if you plan to use the set frequently for formal entertaining.
While the Alana collection features delicate textured scrolls and beads, it is crafted from high-quality porcelain designed for dining. It is suitable for special occasions and elevated everyday meals, though it should be handled with the care typically afforded to fine china.
The pattern features a soft, pale blue hue. The color is subtle and versatile, designed to provide a sophisticated backdrop rather than an overwhelming pop of color on your table.
The intricate scrolls and beads are part of the porcelain mold. To preserve the finish and the integrity of the textured details, we recommend hand washing rather than using a dishwasher.
