What we love
There are floral side plates  … and then there’s the Chrysanthemum Small Side Plate, 6.5 Inch. With the chrysanthemum flowers hand-painted in a delightful deep orange (some might even describe the colour as apricot or tangerine) and the matching sponged border, these are side plates that cry out for afternoon tea in the garden with an assortment of small cakes and finger sandwiches served on a vintage cake stand.

Having scones as well? Serve the clotted cream in the Chrysanthemum Small Old Bowl and pop in your grandmother’s silver spoon.
