Fine Bone China Tableware, Made in England
The Eau de Nil Collection combines a soft green border with a hand-painted 24-carat burnished gold rim. The colour has a calm, traditional elegance — distinctive yet easy to live with, whether you’re setting the table for breakfast or a dinner party.
Each piece is made and finished by hand in Stoke-on-Trent, where fine bone china was first developed. Our craftspeople still use the same time-honoured methods for printing, casting, glazing and gilding, ensuring every item feels balanced, light and beautifully made.
The collection includes:
Side Plate (16cm) – for bread, starters or afternoon tea.
Pudding Plate (23cm) – perfectly sized for desserts or light lunches.
Dinner Plate (27cm) – classic proportions, made for everyday use.
Rimmed Soup Bowl (23cm) – ideal for soup, pasta or a lunchtime salad.
Mug – fine, strong and edged in hand-painted gold.
Made from English fine bone china, these pieces are thin yet strong, with a natural translucency that gives them their signature glow. While the body and border is durable and dishwasher-safe, the gold detailing should be washed by hand to preserve its finish.
From the clay and gilding to the UK-printed decals and packaging, every part of the process happens in England. The Eau de Nil Collection is a true expression of British craftsmanship — thoughtful, enduring and unmistakably well-made.
Materials
Materials
All Xavier Britain tableware is made from top grade English 'fine bone china'.
The ingredients used in making our ceramics, from the bone china body to the enamel colours and lithographs used in decoration, as well as the custom designed packaging are all sourced from and prepared by local suppliers in Stoke-on-Trent, England.
Dishwashers & Care Guide
Dishwashers & Care Guide
Fine bone china is one of the toughest ceramic materials on the market with high levels of calcium content.
Each item is dishwasher-safe, and will last for decades if not centuries.
Even items decorated with gold or hand-painted rims can be put in dishwashers. We do recommend using a cold or delicate setting to prevent tarnishing, however, as well as liquid detergent.
The only rule is that our china isn't put in a cupboard for special occasions. It's robust, resilient and ready to party!

Why fine bone china?
Fine bone china has been synonymous with luxury for centuries. With high levels of calcium content it is so thin it is translucent under the light, but also incredibly strong.
We believe it is the best material for tableware.
