Why this plate earns its place
These Royal Crown Derby Crushed Velvet Pearl coupe plates give plated food a clean, open backdrop with a little more occasion. Made from bone china, the round plates are finished in cream with a patterned surface that brings texture and visual interest to the table.
The Crushed Velvet collection was designed to accentuate food through a balanced use of texture, colour, pattern and proportion. That makes these plates particularly useful when the presentation needs to feel special but the crockery should still let the food lead. The 209mm format is suited to dessert and starter presentation.
Supplied in a six-pack, the plates are stackable for storage and dishwasher safe for the working service cycle. The manufacturer also notes that full-cover decoration on selected pieces can help elevate afternoon tea, while an optional 22ct gold finish may be hand applied to the collection; this listing is the cream patterned plate described here.
