I have a dessert plate collection, and the cabinet they were stored in broke! My 'company' plates were in there too (nicer than my everyday, but not my china, since I don't have all my placesettings we bought some cheaper but still nice plates for the holidays).

One of them broke and I can't find them anywhere in the USA. But, Havens of the UK has them. I decided to buy a few extra as long as I found them, but shipping is outragous.

Has anyone ordered from them before? I'm still deciding if I want to spend the money to replace the plates or not and would love to know if they are a reputable company.

TIA!

what are the pattern, maker and size? I haven't ordered from Havens, but I'm a very experienced antique collector, and would like to see if I could find it for you before you order from the UK...

Thankfully none of my candlewick broke!

It's the Royal Worchester Jamie Oliver collection. I can't seem to find a name for the collection, but each size piece has a different name. I'm looking for the 'big fella' or 'pukka' dinner plate (I keep forgetting to measure). It seems that Churchill China is now producing it, but I get a bunch of UK links for that too.


I can't get a photo to post, but here is a link

Thanks for checking it out. I was hoping to just pick up a cheap plate or two to re-complete the set until I finish my china collection, but 1 plate with shipping is $60-some dollars. I'd rather put that money toward my real china than this crap I just use for Thanksgiving (but you can't put a price on a nicely set thanksgiving table - I hate mismatched plates!).

I love candlewick and have quite a few pieces myself - glad that didn't break on you too!

Seems to not be the most easily found plate, but I did find one on ebay:

seems like havens might be your best deal. they seem reputable. sorry I couldn't be of more help!

I appreciate you taking the time to look. It has been tricky to find. And, of course not all retailers in the UK ship to the US. That eBay vendor seems to have cheaper shipping though.
