Set of 12 Royal Doulton Sarabande H5023 Dinner Plates, English Fine Bone China, Platinum Trim, Vintage 1970s–90s

An elegant set of 12 vintage Royal Doulton salad/appetizer plates in the discontinued Sarabande pattern, H5023, crafted in England from fine bone china.
Sarabande is a sophisticated Royal Doulton pattern featuring a crisp white ground accented by a delicate repeating circular border, fine black banding, and lustrous platinum-tone trim. Its restrained monochrome palette gives the pattern a timeless formal appearance that works beautifully with both traditional and contemporary table settings.

Each plate bears the Royal Doulton backstamp identifying the following:

The Sarabande H5023 pattern was produced during the latter part of the 20th century and has since been discontinued, making complete matching groups increasingly desirable for collectors, replacement-china buyers, and anyone building a vintage Royal Doulton dinner service.

This listing includes 12 matching salad/appetizer plates.

Approximate measurements:
• Diameter: 27 cm / 10.6 in
• Quantity: 12 plates
• Combined item weight: approximately 2.35 kg

Condition:
Vintage pre-owned condition. The photographs show the set retaining a clean, bright appearance with attractive platinum trim. As expected with vintage tableware, individual pieces may show light surface or utensil wear and minor age-related wear to the metallic decoration. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description and show the actual set being offered.

An excellent choice for an elegant dinner service, formal entertaining, holiday tables, wedding tablescapes, vintage-inspired dining, or as replacement pieces for an existing Royal Doulton Sarabande collection.

Because the pattern contains metallic platinum trim, I would mark this set as NOT microwave safe. A pattern reference specifically identifies Sarabande’s trim as platinum and states that it should not be microwaved.
