Royal Doulton Carmina 11-Inch Dinner Plate, Lemon

The Carmina 11-inch Lemon dinner plate has a two-inch-wide, pale yellow rim. The branches of two quintessentially Mediterranean fruits--olives and lemons--decorate the center of the plate, while a diamond-tile border of muted blues and greens separates the illustration from the solid-colored rim. Other pieces in the Carmina pattern include two sizes of platter, a cereal bowl, a shapely cream jug, and even a lasagna baking dish.

Royal Doulton's Carmina dishes can be used in the freezer, microwave, or for warming in the oven. They're also dishwasher safe for easy cleanup. When hand washing, avoid abrasive cleansers and scourers. The Carmina dinner plate measures 11 inches in diameter and has a 2-inch rim. Royal Doulton guarantees that a chosen pattern will be available for two years after initial purchase. --Garland Withers
