Designed after the great and grand Alhambra in Spain, Minton's Alhambra pattern is a true and rich variation on the beauty of the Moorish fortress. Made of fine bone china, the rims of each piece are full of rich color reminicent of Granada's warm environment; burnt umbers, black and a soft and matted gold. Adorned with a Greek Key pattern along the edge, the rim is divided into segments that are both organic in pattern and mathamatical. Islamic art does not use representations of living beings, but instead, relies heavily upon geometric patterns, especially symmetric ones. The bread and butter plate looks as though it could have been lifted off one of the tile patterns within the famous walled city.

Imagine spectacular meals served upon these beautiful and historically rich pieces. The colors are bold and the patterns are works of art. Any Minton lover and collector will surely find a place for Alhambra in their home, as well as anyone with a love for the designs of the great Moorish city.

Alhambra by Minton is made in England by the Royal Doulton factories upon the Langdale Bone China shape. Each 5 piece place setting includes one 10.5" dinner plate, one 8" salad plate, one 6.25" bread and butter plate and a 7.4oz. teacup with saucer. Other pieces from the Alhambra line can be special ordered at no extra cost.
