Spode Blue Colonel 5-Piece Place Setting, Service for 1

Made in England of beautifully translucent fine bone china, this single place setting forms the start of a collection or adds to an existing one. Included are five pieces: a 10-1/2-inch dinner plate, 8-inch salad plate, 6-inch bread-and-butter plate, and 7-ounce teacup with matching saucer. A generous assortment of cups, bowls, and serving pieces completes a well-appointed table. While the gold trim precludes use in a microwave, the china may be washed in a dishwasher at low heat so as not to soften the metal. However, in order to best preserve the china's fine luster, the dinnerware should be washed by hand. --Ann Bieri

Product Description
