This set is typical of many sets of dinner and bread plates produced in the first half of the 20th century in that it is designed in the style of the late 18th century. However, the Georgian 18th century sets were only made with dinner plates and usually they were 10 inches in diameter. It was not until the late 19th century that service plates were commonly made larger than 10 inches. This set is very versatile in that the plates can be used in many other ways. For instance, the dinner plates can be used individually to serve hors d’oeuvres or pies and desserts. The bread and butter plates can be used for individual hors d’oeuvres, dessert and petit fours plates.
