************************************
Royal Doulton, founded in 1815, is one of England's famed producers of fine bone china. Its designers continue to draw on British history and heritage for inspiration; the Tennyson pattern was created in the mid-'90s but was inspired by that Victorian-era poet who wrote the Lady of Shalott. True to Victorian sensibilities, the Tennyson design incorporates floral motifs with neo-Classical elements and contours.

The Royal Doulton 5-piece Tennyson dinnerware set includes one 10-1/2-inch dinner plate, one 8-inch salad plate, one 6-1/2-inch bread plate, one 6-inch saucer, and one 8-ounce teacup. The pattern features taupe leaf-and-foliage bands and borders, reminiscent of William Morris fabrics, on glazed white bone china. The floral borders are detailed with gleaming gold edges, as are the teacup handle and the inner rim borders on the plates. Matching serving pieces within the Tennyson pattern include a large and medium platter, an oval vegetable dish, and an elegant gravy or sauce boat.

Because of the gold trim, Tennyson dishes should not be used in the microwave. Though not designed to handle extreme temperature changes, Royal Doulton's Tennyson china can be pre-warmed for serving in a 100-degree oven. Tennyson china is dishwasher safe; it can handle water temperatures of up to 150 degrees F. When hand washing, avoid abrasive cleansers and scourers. When stacking for storage, the best way to avoid scratches is to place a paper napkin between each bowl or plate. The 5-piece place setting includes one 10-1/2-inch dinner plate, one 8-inch salad plate, one 6-1/2-inch bread plate, one 6-inch saucer, and one 8-ounce teacup. Royal Doulton guarantees that a chosen pattern will be available for two years after initial purchase. --Garland Withers
