A lushly decorated pattern, the Churchill China Tonquin Blue dinnerware has a traditional beauty that suits special occasions perfectly. Setting a palette of deep blues against an off white background, the pieces feature a wide border of luxuriant flowers and beading. A central image shows a quiet Asian landscape scene with a house set in a garden and a pond nearby. The pattern is printed in incredible detail with stippling and lines for texture and shadow. Light sculptural waves at the dishes borders add a pleasing movement to the overall design.
This 45-piece Tonquin Blue set includes eight full 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. To round out the set, five completer pieces are included: an oval platter, a vegetable bowl, a creamer, a sugar bowl, and a sugar bowl lid. Tonquin Blue is made from high-fired earthenware and has a chip-resistant glossy glaze over the transfer-printed pattern. Designed to withstand frequent use, it is safe in the microwave, freezer, and dishwasher. --Emily Bedard
