Handmade and delicate with an evenly brushed rim, the Paintbrush line is an in glaze pattern, which protects the color from ever fading. Plates have a glazed distinct foot. The Elegance line is broiler proof, shock resistant, microwave and dishwasher safe. It can retain a wide range of temperatures from hot to cold. With a shock resistance of up to 800 lbs. and perfect whiteness, the Paintbrush pattern is part of a lineage of chinaware more than 250 years old.
