The pastoral scenes and rich blues of Churchill Chinas Brook Blue dinnerware create a graceful, intimate table. Starting with an off white background, the dinnerware features an ornate border of basket weave and grapevines. Within it, peaceful scenes of cottages, trees, meadows, and brooks are executed in all the detail of the original etchings. The scenes change from piece to piece for a varied but harmonious effect, while sculptural waves on the rims add a unifying texture.
A great place to start your collection, this 20-piece set of Brook Blue includes four place settings, each with a 10-inch dinner plate, an 8-inch salad plate, an 8-3/4-inch rimmed bowl, a 5-1/2-inch saucer, and an 8-ounce teacup. Each piece is made from high-fired earthenware and has a chip-resistant glossy glaze over the transfer-printed pattern. Designed to withstand frequent use, the set is safe in the microwave, freezer, and dishwasher. --Emily Bedard

Product Description
Brook Blue dinnerware is produced by utilising the centuries old art of transfer printing from original engravings which bring to life the scenes of an English rural countryside. The Cottages, Churches, Brooks & landscapes are long forgotten in this modern world however they do still exist & we at Churchill try to bring the best out in these scenes by reproducing our ceramics the way our forefathers did in the 18th Century. Each Piece is processed and handled at least 50 times before it is finally made ready for our customers. By purchasing a 20 Piece starter Dinner set you will also enjoy the rustic way of life from bygone years.
