Inspired by the rich deep blues of the Mediterranean Sea and classic ornamental imagery of the region, this set of six attractive bread and butter plates offers a sumptuous presentation at the table. Perfect for special occasions as well as everyday, these versatile dishes beautifully frame a range of food from appetizers to desserts. The feathery foliage of the acanthus plant surrounds the scalloped border for a stylized Corinthian touch in soft shades of blue on an ivory background. The graceful design coordinates with the Casa Ornato collection of dinnerware and complements the Casa Azul line. The line is crafted of durable vitrified porcelain that is dishwasher- and microwave-safe. The plates are imported from Germany and Luxemburg by the historic Villeroy & Boch, which has created an array of stylish ceramics for over 250 years.

Product Description
Casa Azul evokes a hand-painted Mediterranean feel with delicately shaded blue hues, or soft buttery yellows on a white background. The simple blue or yellow band creates the backdrop for the opulent acanthus leaf motif that decorates 2 of the patterns. The "Chintz" salad plate is crisp and refreshing with an all-over acanthus leaf design that radiates out from its center. Mix it, match it. Microwave and dishwasher safe, made of vitrified porcelain for strength and durability. Underglazed for longlasting color and durability.
