Jingdezhen Embossed White Porcelain Dinnerware Set for 12, 74 pc

A seventy-four piece white porcelain service for twelve, made in Jingdezhen, with a French-style relief pressed into the rim of every piece and a lidded serving pot. It arrives in a gift box.

Jingdezhen has made porcelain for a thousand years, and the reason the name is on the listing is the body rather than the decoration: the local clay fires to a white that is bright without being cold, and thin enough to hold its shape at a wide plate diameter.

The colour is the whole design. A service with no pattern on it never argues with the food, the cloth or the flowers, which is why plain white is what restaurants buy and what survives a change of taste at home. The relief on the rim does the work a pattern would, catching light as a shadow rather than a colour.

It is finished underglaze, so the detailing sits beneath the glazed surface rather than on it — nothing to wear off against cutlery or a dishwasher rack. The set takes the microwave for reheating.

Seventy-four pieces for twelve is a service rather than a starter set: it lays a full table twice over, or a table of twelve with the serving pieces still in the kitchen.
