The plates are exactly as pictured and I ordered an additional set after receiving the first four.

These plates are so beautiful. We already had the Italian teapot, and fell in love with it. The pot inspired this order. The plates are just the right size, and lighter weight than the plates they replace. I would love to go "full Spode Blue Italian" for my dining room, so will likely order more items. Also, thank you for your site's ease of ordering, timely communications, and fast service.

I already owned an old, service for 6 set of this Spode China but needed more. So now we have service for 10 and the new pieces are all Dishwasher and Microwave safe. Perfect!

Beautiful dishes. Well packed - arrived in perfect condition.

Gorgeous plates.
