WedgwoodButterfly Bloom Plates, Set of 4

Just received these plates yesterday. I already have assorted pieces from the Wedgwood Daisy Tea Story and couldn't resist buying some Butterfly Bloom pieces as well. The plates are absolutely beautiful, can't wait for the teacups/saucers to arrive. I plan to use Butterfly Bloom for breakfast, they are so cheery and pretty, just looking at them puts me in a good mood. :) The quality is great too, just what you'd expect from Wedgwood, patterns all applied perfectly, gold trim perfect too.

These plates are beautiful. I had ordered for a friend as a Christmas gift and then also ordered a set for myself. And much less on amazon than at Macy's. Come in a gorgeous box as well!

Whimsical patterns set in vibrant colors. Bought these plates for my personal collection, am very happy with the purchase. The quality is superb.

Like the plates, beautiful and elegant.

Beautiful plates!

I luv it. Ever since I bought my first pieces of this set, I can’t stop adding to it.

I love these plates. Another reviewer says these are made in Asia but I cannot confirm or deny that because mine do not say "Made in _____" anywhere on it. All my other Wedgwood pieces say "Made in England" (I won't buy them if they say they are made anywhere else) and my dishes are all nearly as ancient as I am, however I recently purchased 2 Wedgwood mugs from Harrods (in London, of course) that are of the same Spring Blossom collection and they also do not say where they are made. These are recent models so it is possible Wedgwood changed their signature at the bottom, and I have no reason to doubt the authenticity of these plates OR the mugs sold by Harrods.That being said, let me tell you about the plates themselves. Beautiful, delicate, and artsy. They are the perfect size for sandwiches or to serve sweets with your afternoon tea. The coloring is good, bright not faded, however I do want to note that it is not entirely what I expected. As I said, I bought 2 mugs from Harrods that matched 2 of the 4 plate patterns. Upon opening the box of plates, I immediately noticed that, despite having identical designs, the mugs had significantly more gold (real or fake I do not know) incorporated into it than the plates did. To be specific, the plates do not have any gold in its design except for the rim. Where there is gold in the mug the plates have replaced it with a matte gold-brown paint. I was a little disappointed in their lack of gold because I think the addition of the gold makes them an 'over the top' pretty. Without the gold in the design, the plates are a bit more dull and, simply put, less pretty.I do not know if these plates are a different version (and hence why they are being sold so cheap...the Wedgwood website sells them for 75 POUNDS...thats roughly $125) or if the plates were never designed with gold in them. Either way, for the price you are paying they are still beautiful, arrived safely in the cutest little Wedgwood box, and I can safely say that I am happy I bought them.
