Invite a friend over for a very English afternoon tea and set the table with Emma Bridgewater’s Poppies & Pinks Small Side Plates, 6.5 Inch. This pretty hand-painted plate is just the sort of tea plate one might expect alongside a cake stand, each tier lined with a paper doily. The bottom tier should contain a row of smoked salmon sandwich fingers alongside some egg and cress ones (no crusts, of course). On the middle one, place warm scones and little bowls of strawberry jam and clotted cream, and crown the top tier with a few mini eclairs. Complete the scene with small silver cake forks beside each floral side plate and tea brewing in the matching Poppies & Pinks teapot. Afternoon tea is served.
