The designs reproduce late 18th century Chinese export porcelain collected by Harold S. Vanderbilt and left to the Society, whose collection includes The Breakers and Marble House.

The set holds three patterns, two plates of each: an iron-red hanging urn trailed with flowers, an iron-red footed vase filled with a mixed bouquet, and a central spray of peonies and roses. All six share a cobalt blue border with a textured scale ground, blue floral sprigs, a fretwork medallion ring, and a gilt rim. The famille rose palette of pink, iron red, and green sits against the blue, so the plates read as a set on a wall while each pair adds variety.

Use them as a six-plate wall grouping, in a china cabinet, or at the table. Backstamped “Newport Mansions Collections,” the Preservation Society seal, and “Andrea by Sadek, Made in Japan.” The “MCMXLV” on the backstamp marks the Society’s founding in 1945, not the year of manufacture.
