A curated vintage china and handmade wood gift set created for hosting, serving and a beautifully considered table setting. Royal Doulton Carlyle H5018 English fine bone china is paired with a large hand-carved American maple burl bowl, combining the deep blue and gold detail of classic English tableware with the natural grain and sculptural character of wood. Choose between two versions depending on how you would like the set to be used or gifted: Base Set — Serving & Hosting 1 Royal Doulton Carlyle H5018 oval serving platters 1 large hand-carved American maple burl bowl Medium Set — Serving & Hosting 2 Royal Doulton Carlyle H5018 tea cups 2 matching Royal Doulton saucers 1 large hand-carved American maple burl bowl Expanded Set — Tea for Two & Hosting 1 Royal Doulton Carlyle H5018 oval serving platters 1 large hand-carved American maple burl bowl 2 Royal Doulton Carlyle H5018 tea cups 2 matching Royal Doulton saucers The Base Set is designed around serving and entertaining. The one large Carlyle platters provide generous pieces for cakes, sandwiches, desserts, vegetables or other dishes, while the maple burl bowl can be used for fruit, nuts, biscuits or snacks and also works as a distinctive centrepiece on the table. The Expanded Set adds two matching cups and saucers, turning the collection into a more complete afternoon hosting set with a tea-for-two setting. It is the stronger option when the set is being chosen as a substantial housewarming, wedding, anniversary or tea lover's gift. What gives the collection its character is the contrast between the two materials. The Royal Doulton pieces bring the formality and recognisable deep blue-and-gold decoration of the Carlyle H5018 pattern, while the hand-carved burl bowl introduces an organic, individual form. The result feels intentionally collected rather than conventionally matched. Royal Doulton Carlyle H5018 The vintage porcelain pieces were made in England from English fine bone china. Carlyle features a rich blue border with detailed gold floral scrollwork and gold trim. The pattern dates from the approximately 1972–2001 production period. Dimensions Oval serving platter: 34.5 × 26 cm / 13.6 × 10.2 in each Tea cup: 7.7 cm / 3 in high; 9 cm / 3.5 in diameter Saucer: 15.5 cm / 6.1 in diameter Maple burl bowl: 27 × 25 × 10 cm / 10.6 × 9.8 × 3.9 in All measurements are approximate. Condition -Tea cups and Saucers included in the selected set are in excellent vintage condition. -Oval serving platter has a small spot/mark. -The American maple burl bowl is individually hand carved. Its irregular shape, distinctive grain, knots and natural cracks are characteristics of the wood rather than attempts to make every bowl identical. It is finished with food-safe conditioning oil and wax. Why choose this set Rather than simply combining products already available individually, this collection has been assembled around one table-setting idea: serving pieces, natural wood and — in the Expanded Set — tea for two. It offers the recipient something that can be used together from the moment it is opened while still retaining the individuality of genuine vintage china and handmade wood. The combination makes a thoughtful gift for someone who enjoys hosting, afternoon tea, distinctive tableware or interiors that mix vintage pieces with natural materials. The wood element also makes the collection particularly relevant as a 5th wedding anniversary gift, traditionally associated with wood.
