Product Description

Inspired by one of Monique's top selling bridal gowns, Pointe D'esprit is based on sheer, light-as-air tulle. A delicate raised tulle design, enhanced by embossed white dots, creates a subtle contrast with a soft pearlescent gray border. The unique accent pattern is lavishly embellished with embossed bows and dots.

In an especially lovely collaboration, Royal Doulton and American dress designer Monique Lhuillier have created a series of tableware patterns inspired by Monique's couture bridal and evening gowns. The pairing makes perfect sense. Like Royal Doulton, Monique's creations are known for luxurious materials and superb workmanship as well as fresh, innovative design with a modern aesthetic. The series was introduced in 2008, and each pattern reveals its own personality that is unmistakably sumptuous yet invitingly easy.

From the Pointe d'Esprit collection, this 10-1/2-inch dinner plate sets a festive mood with a pearlized gray border hosting a textured tulle design and a sprinkling of embossed white dots in various sizes (imagine a shower of celebratory rice in mid-air). Glowing platinum trim adds lustrous definition and the pure white center is classically elegant. With one of Monique's popular wedding dresses as its muse, this lovely series also includes a pretty bow accent motif on select pieces. The fine bone china plate bears the Royal Doulton commitment to superior quality, yet is dishwasher-safe so it can easily be enjoyed as an everyday indulgence. Made in England. --Kara Karll
