common questions
  shop for fine china product guide 


Is all Fine China dishwasher safe?

No. Although most patterns can be safely placed in the dishwasher, there are many that can not. Always check each pattern's specifications before washing.

What is the difference between Fine China and Bone China?

Bone China includes a percentage of bone ash in the clay. Bone ash creates a more translucent, whiter ceramic, and is more durable.

How many place settings do I need?

The number of place settings purchased should coincide with how you entertain. We recommend service for 12. If you have a large family or entertain often, you should consider additional place settings.

What is a Charger Plate?

A charger plate is larger than the dinner plate, yet smaller than a platter. Most commonly used at a formal table, the charger plate is placed at each place setting and generally removed when the main entrée is served. Therefore, all first courses are placed directly on the charger plate.
