Churchill China Brook Blue 47-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 8

Serene and cozy, Churchill China\'s Brook Blue dinnerware displays authentic renderings of English countryside estates in a classic palette of rich blues and pure white. Showcasing a selection of rustic scenes with stone buildings, massive trees, lush meadows, and meandering brooks, each piece draws the viewer into its own special landscape, while together the collection creates a charmingly panoramic dining backdrop. Unifying the designs, a sumptuous basket-weave and grapevine border frames every piece, and wavy sculpting on the rims and bodies provides a textured overall finish. Because these lovely drawings are transferred directly from original engravings, Brook Blue\'s effect is both intimate and lush at any traditional table. An inclusive set appropriate for large families as well as gracious entertaining, this 47-piece collection includes eight 5-piece place settings, each with a 10-inch dinner plate, a 7-inch bread and butter plate, a 6-inch soup/cereal bowl, a 5-1/2-inch saucer, and an 8-ounce teacup. Rounding out the set, the seven completer pieces include a 12-inch oval platter, a 9-1/4-inch open vegetable dish, a 6-cup teapot, a 7-ounce creamer, and an 8-ounce covered sugar bowl. The Brook Blue line is crafted from high-fired earthenware with a chip-resistant glossy glaze. Designed to withstand frequent use, it goes safely into the microwave, freezer, and dishwasher. --Kara Karll What\'s in the Box 8 place settings, 7 serving pieces.
