Capturing Britain's assortment of famous castles, each piece of china in the collection portrays a prominent palace or stronghold set upon an 18th Century landscape.

A creamy background showcases the lovely design rendered in a cranberry pink, while a decorative floral border frames the prominent castle, which is the focal point of the pattern. Crafted from high quality ironstone, extremely durable earthenware, each piece can safely be placed in the microwave, dishwasher, and freezer.--Lea Werbel
