21 Blue Gold Dessert Dishes With All Serving Dishes See Image 2 England 1810
Located in Katonah, NY
This hand painted English porcelain dessert service features the exquisite Blue Chrysanthemum pattern, combining deep blue with the allure of gold. It's a fabulous combination! The golden chrysanthemum leaves are richly gilded, creating a beautiful contrast against the deep blue background. This gorgeous 32-piece service consists of 21 dessert plates and all the serving shapes: a centerpiece and pairs of square-shaped dishes, shell-shaped dishes, oval-shaped dishes, and a fabulous pair of sauce tureens with their underplates. Made by Coalport circa 1810, this Regency Period pattern was inspired by similar Chinese designs of the 18th century. In Chinese lore, chrysanthemums represent a long and happy life because they bloom at the end of summer. In addition to their beauty, these dishes symbolize happiness and overall well-being. Dimensions: The diameter of the set of twelve dessert plates is 8.35" The diameter of the set of nine dessert plates is 7.5" Centerpiece 12" x 8" 4" tall Pair of shell-shaped plates 7.75" x 7.75" Pair of square-shaped dishes 8.5" x 8.5" Pair of oval-shaped dishes 11" x 7.5" Pair of sauce tureens on stands 9" x 7" height 6" Condition: Very good to Excellent, with very slight rubbing to the gilt (see images).

Antique and Vintage Dinner Plates

Set the mood when you’re setting the table. The right antique and vintage dinner plates for the meals in your home can truly elevate the dining experience.

We haven’t had our own plate at dinner for very long. It wasn’t until the middle of the 19th century in Europe that individual dinner plates had become the norm, replacing the platters that diners had shared before them. Innovations at the dining table are believed to have been introduced by Italian noblewoman Catherine de’ Medici, who, when she married King Henry II of France in 1533, brought with her decorative table adornments for meals and fine tableware such as silver forks, replacing the fingers and knives utilized during dinner before her arrival. Italy was a bit faster on table settings, and, thanks to Catherine, tableware such as dinner plates would also replace the wooden trenchers and flat slabs of days-old bread that preceded them.

Today, while enthusiasts of mid-century modern furnishings might pine for vintage mismatched dinner plates — a mix of old and new can be refreshing — presenting ceramic vessels, glassware and decorative centerpieces that matched was once actually part of the point as setting the table became more refined during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. And as Fornasetti dinner plates and Chinese porcelain tableware have long held weight as collector’s items and status symbols, your dinner dishes haven’t ever really been merely functional. From antique metal dishes and ornamental earthenware designed by celebrated English ceramics makers Wedgwood, dinner plates are statement-making works that bring elegance and likely stir conversation at your table.

Entertaining is an art form, and the kitchen bar island and dining room table in your space are cherished gathering places where families and friends convene and grow closer over good meals. Browse an extensive collection of antique and vintage dinner plates to pair with these important events today on 1stDibs.
