Plum Blossom Porcelain Bowls, Plates and Serveware

Plum Blossom Porcelain, Chosen Piece by Piece

This is a family of blue and white porcelain tableware decorated with a blossoming branch pattern. Every option is sold on its own, so you build the collection you actually need, from a single rice bowl to a full row of serving dishes.

The pattern runs across the whole range, which means bowls, plates, spoons and serving pots all sit together as a matching set once they reach your table.

A blue and white blossom pattern

Each piece carries a branch of plum blossom with small buds and the occasional perched bird, drawn in soft powder blue. The look comes two ways: a white body with a blue print, and a pale blue body with a white print, so you can mix light and airy with a touch more color.

The decoration is applied as underglaze color, which means the pattern sits beneath the clear glaze rather than on top of it. The surface stays smooth to the touch and the design keeps its clarity through regular use.

The glaze is glossy and the shapes are rounded and simple, so the flowers stay the main feature on the table.

High fired porcelain for the table

The body is porcelain fired at high temperature, which gives it a hard, dense feel and, as the maker notes, resistance to sudden changes in temperature.

The range is listed by the maker as microwave safe, so warming a bowl of soup or a plate of leftovers is straightforward.

A gentle wash keeps the glaze glossy and the underglaze blossom looking crisp over time.

The style draws on the Jingdezhen porcelain tradition, the blue and white look long associated with Chinese ceramics.

Choose the pieces that suit your table

The selector covers daily bowls and plates alongside a few serving and decorative pieces. Pick one at a time to match the way you eat and entertain.

• Rice, noodle and soup bowls for daily meals
• Flat plates and shallow trays for mains and sharing
• A long fish plate for larger dishes and a small side plate for bones and scraps
• Lidded round belly and wealth pots for soups and stews
• Large and small spoons for serving and eating
• Decorative extras: a swan stand, a flower basket, an ashtray and a toothpick holder

Size of each piece

Every option is a single item, so use the table below to match the piece to your space and the way you plan to use it. Measurements are given by the maker in centimeters.

The remaining pieces round out the range: an 8 inch shallow plate at 20.5 cm wide, a large spoon at 23.5 cm and a small spoon at 13.5 cm, plus decorative pieces such as the swan stand at 12 by 17 cm, the flower basket at 10 by 16 cm, the toothpick holder at 5 by 7 cm and the ashtray at 9 cm wide.

Because each option ships as one piece, add the shapes you use most now and return for more in the same pattern whenever your table grows.
