Concentric channels adorn the border of this plate, adding just the right accent. In neutral bone china, the plate can be used with your favorite glassware and flatware.

Before my critique, I want to say these are handsome plates with a very nice balance between design and simple presentation. They "ring" like nice porcelain, too. They're white without being too bright. So, what's my issue? The printing on the back on my recent (Sept 2014) order is smudged like they were factory seconds. I already own a set of these plates so I have basis for comparison. At first glance, the quality of printing on the back made me think they were knock-offs. But no, they "ring" identically to my first set and are physically the same and were shipped via Lenox directly (says the Wayfair rep). It's embarrassing that Lenox would let these out of the factory as 1st quality...that's not the way to state they're proudly made in the USA (which apparently they are).. David. San Francisco, CA.

The Princess series is romantic with a light touch. Originally designed as a tea service in the 19th century, the pattern was first produced as dinnerware a century later in 1978. The delicate Princess collection epitomizes classic femininity. Every piece is encircled by a fine, hand-painted lace border and decorated with fish scale decorations and handmade flutes. The elegance of the collection adds a touch of old-world beauty to any scene.
