Victoria Fasken’s beautifully painted dinnerware is not actually ceramic – it’s fine painted pewter – but we chose to categorise it with the rest of our crockery. The pewter means that the plates are gorgeously thin and convincing and, with the addition of Victoria’s hand-painted designs, they make a splendid setting for lunch, dinner, or afternoon tea.

This set, painted in a lovely light green, comprises an oval serving platter, two large serving plates, four dinner plates and four side plates.
