Product Description In the late 19th Century, Nantucket, Massachusetts was renowned the world over for its meticulously hand-woven baskets. It was these which gave inspiration for the Nantucket Collection by Wedgwood; which mirrors the elegant basketwork in the design details of this fine bone china dinnerware collection. This Oval Open Vegetable Bowl is rendered in pure white fine bone china delicately embossed with the collection's signature basket weave motif. Amazon.com Wedgwood has crafted luxurious pottery fit for royalty since 1759 in Staffordshire, England. The epitome of elegance and grace, each china pattern is recognized around the world for its enduring beauty. Capturing this sophistication, Nantucket Basket delicately combines a classically pristine white on white pattern with historical significance. Based upon handwoven baskets crafted on the island of Nantucket in the 19th Century, this lovely design incorporates the sculptural beauty of these hand crafted containers that are still collected today. Measuring 7-1/2 by 9-3/4 inches and standing 2-1/2 inches tall, this lovely open vegetable bowl is the perfect size to serve a side of steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a small salad. Covering the inner rim of the bowl, the subtle, white on white basketweave design harmonizes with a wide variety of table dressings and occasions. Crafted from Wedgwood's fine bone china, the bowl is durable enough to be placed in the dishwasher. --Lea Werbel
