Palace 5-Piece Place Setting by Michael Aram
Dinner Plate: 11" Diam.; Salad Plate: 8.75" Diam.; Tidbit Plate: 7" Diam.; Breakfast Cup: 4" Diam.; Saucer: 6.75" Diam.
Limoges Porcelain
Michael Aram Fine Porcelain was designed to reflect the way we are entertaining today incorporating ease and comfort without sacrificing grace and detail. It's about the casualization of formal and the formalization of casual.
Constructed of Limoges bodies with exceptionally executed graphic details, the pieces remain sturdy enough to withstand everyday use. Each motif stands on its own but can also be combined with any or all of the texture patterns to create many variations of place settings. All the body shapes are exactly the same, so you can mix the plates any way you want and know they'll always look beautiful. The designs are also carefully managed to integrate perfectly with Michael Aram's existing array of metal, glass, wood and stone serving and decorative objects. The result is an exquisite table every time you use them...casual when you want to be, more formal when the time is right...with motifs that go from two-dimensional expressions in the place settings to fully sculptural executions in the center of the table.
Care Instructions: Dishwasher safe. Microwave safe. As with all fine China, avoid hitting against other hard surfaces, particularly at the edges.
The Michael Aram Palace Collection explores, through Michael's eyes, the richness of detail and ornament in palaces throughout the world. As a part-time resident of India since 1989, palace architecture has been a steady source of inspiration and this collection pays tribute to the geometry and complexity of Moghul design. The classically elegant shapes and materials in this collection reflect the arches, finials, carved panels, and ornamentation prevalent in palaces throughout the east.
"I like the old saying that every man's home is his palace. This is a collection that brings the grandness and intricacy of palace architecture into your home, in an elegant yet everyday way. The collection is a journey of sorts into the sophisticated world of regal architecture, yet what I love about it is that there is a surprising simplicity to the geometric forms as well as restraint in the tone-on-tone interplay with light and shadow of the surfaces."
