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 12-ounce covered sugar bowl sets a festive mood in pearlized gray with a textured tulle design and a sprinkling of white dots in various sizes (imagine a shower of celebratory rice in mid-air). Glowing platinum trim adds crisp definition, and the pure white round finial offers a fun play on the motif below. With one of Monique's wedding gowns as its muse, the Pointe d'Esprit line also includes a pretty bow accent on select pieces. The 3-1/2-inch bowl is crafted of fine bone china and bears the Royal Doulton commitment to superior quality. Durable and dishwasher-safe, it can easily be enjoyed as an everyday indulgence. Made in England. --Kara Karll
