Based on a legend of two star-crossed Chinese lovers, the Chelsea Blue Willow dinnerware from Churchill China has comfortable proportions and romantic imagery. Dark blue on white, the pattern features intricate double borders with a combination of geometric detailing for a fabric-like visual texture. The central imagery depicts a Chinese landscape complete with bridges, a river, trees, and houses. Two doves--reincarnations of the fugitive lovers--hover above the scene. Churchill China adds a slight sculptural waviness to the borders of plates and bowls and the bodies of the teacups for light-catching effects.
Designed for groups, this 45-piece collection includes eight 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. Rounding out the set, the five completer pieces include an oval platter, a vegetable bowl, a creamer, a sugar bowl, and a sugar bowl lid. Chelsea Blue Willow dishes are made from high-fired earthenware and have a chip-resistant glossy glaze over the transfer-printed pattern. Designed to stand up to frequent use, the line is safe in the microwave, freezer, and dishwasher. --Emily Bedard
