Cheap Spode English Delftware 9-Inch Plates, Set of 4 (Kitchen) Price

Each English Delftware plate in this set of four has its own blossom-like shape, with gentle scallops, curves, and points. In addition, each plate displays a different rural scene--rivers, bridges, a country castle, a village farm--painted in the soft Delft shade of blue. The Delft-style design is well suited to a kitchen with a country or rustic look. The plates' 9-inch diameter leaves them somewhere between a traditional dinner plate and a salad or dessert plate in size, so they are flexible in place settings.

Spode's English Delftware plates are dishwasher safe, but hand washing in hot water with a mild detergent will help preserve the glaze and painted decorations even longer. Avoid abrasive cleansers or scrubbers that might scratch or mar decorated surfaces. Placing paper towels or other padding material between stacked plates also helps prevent scratching. Spode earthenware is microwave safe; extreme temperature changes should still be avoided, however. The 4-piece English Delftware plate set includes four individually shaped 9-inch plates, each with its own painted scene. --Garland Withers
