Merchant sailors from the English East India Company dominated trade with the Orient in the 17th and 18th centuries. Their sailing ships carried cargo from the fabled East including rare porcelains sought after by kings and connoisseurs in Europe. One such piece, an exquisite porcelain plate made for a Portuguese nobleman, inspired our Indigo Wave. Enriched with 22 k gold, the design in deep cobalt blue is typical of the most prized of Chinese export porcelains.
Five piece place setting includes: 10.75" Dinner Plate, 8.5" Salad/Dessert Plate, 6.75" Bread and Butter Plate, Tea Cup and Saucer.
Also, available are 9" Rimmed Soup Plate, 12" Service Plate
