Know before you buy
The basketweave design is embossed into the fine bone china, providing a tactile, raised texture that mimics the look and feel of traditional hand-woven Nantucket baskets.
Yes, this fine bone china is dishwasher safe. However, to maintain its luster and prevent potential chipping over time, we recommend using a gentle cycle with a mild detergent.
While the Nantucket collection is designed with a formal aesthetic in mind, fine bone china is surprisingly durable. It is perfectly suitable for everyday use if you enjoy elevating your daily meals, though it remains a standout choice for special occasions.
The Nantucket plate features a classic, crisp white tone consistent with most Wedgwood fine bone china. While it is designed to be a cohesive set, it also pairs beautifully with other white-based patterns if you prefer a mix-and-match table setting.
Fine bone china is non-porous and highly resistant to staining. As long as you rinse the plate after use and do not leave acidic foods sitting on the surface for extended periods, it will retain its pristine finish.
