English Traditional Dinnerware

Host a Sophisticated Soiree with English Traditional Dinnerware

Collecting English traditional dinnerware used to be an activity stereotypically reserved for elderly women. But, with the growing collection of chic dishware available online, collecting traditional plates has transformed into a sophisticated hobby that many home decor enthusiasts have adopted. Plus, whether because they’ve been passed down from generation to generation or simply because of their antiquity, traditional dinnerware holds an alluring history and patina. Like Japanese or Chinese dinnerware, English traditional dinnerware encompass a wide array of styles and looks. You can never go wrong with a classic blue and white porcelain set. The style boomed following imports of Chinese porcelain into Europe in the 17th century and has waxed and waned in popularity for centuries—and there’s good reason why. Blue and white dinnerware sets are perfectly neutral, yet whimsical and dainty enough to inspire a tea party. Especially ornate blue and white China sets also often feature painstakingly hand painted scenes of gardens, architecture, or history. Botanical and floral motifs also show up in all traditional dinnerware varieties. Often painted with an assortment of lively colors, these dishes frequently feature a botanical wreath at its edges or a single flower in the plate’s center. No matter the specific style, English dinnerware sets are each unique in their own way—on Chairish, you’re bound to find something distinctively special. Stun your guests by using an English dinnerware set for a formal dinner or garden party. With Chairish’s collection of traditional English dinnerware, it’s easy to create a one-of-a-kind table setting that conveys sophistication and maturity.
