Royal Albert Serveware, Old Country Roses Regal Tray

Metropolitan sensibility and modern design combine in this understated white bone china from Lenox's collection of dinnerware and dishes. Platinum gild along the edge is enhanced by a clean, platinum geometric pattern reminiscent of architectural details. Accent plates feature the geometric pattern along the interior verge, with a thin platinum band along the outer rim.

When you aren't entertaining, the Adams flatware chest from Reed & Barton stores more than a dozen place settings and serving pieces in soft, tarnish-resistant silver cloth. Imitation leather and cherry-finished wood veneer look as fine as its contents.

Pure refinement simply stated, the Mikasa Cameo Platinum dinnerware and dishes collection is shear elegance in classic form. Dazzling white china is delicately embellished with platinum band detailing. The understated style of this soup bowl works as well with other patterns as it does with the coordinating collection.

A true gem, the Amethyst mug is simply glazed but boldly hued, in deep indigo and crisp white from Denby's collection of dinnerware. The dishes can embrace their luxe color alone or they can be paired with the playful dots of Amethyst Stone for a well-balanced and uniquely customized table setting.
