The nationally renowned Pfaltzgraff ceramics manufacturing company released its Tea Rose pattern in 1985. Tea Rose is a versatile dining pattern featuring a rose ornamented design. The Pfaltzgraff Tea Rose features blue flowers, pink roses, and scalloped edges. On the bottom of every Pfaltzgraff Tea Rose plate or dish, you can find the official Pfaltzgraff logo.

The typical Tea Rose cup is about three-quarter inches wide. Saucers are slightly larger--5 3/4 inches. Whether you're registering for your wedding, searching for a 50th anniversary present for your parents, or simply collecting Tea Rose sets, bear the following tips in mind. First of all, the Pfaltzgraff Company offers exceptional service for its products. Through the company's 'P.S. We Care' plan, you can get even minor pieces from your Tea Rose set replaced for free.

When cleaning your Tea Rose sets, remember that Pfaltzgraff produces unglazed stoneware. If you leave your Tea Rose saucers steeping in water, the water may actually enter the ceramic through its unglazed foot and cause structural problems. In addition, you don't want to expose your Tea Rose ceramics to extreme temperature differentials.

Thus, if you're serving very hot tea, you may want to warm up your pots and saucers in the oven first. At the very least, don't take tea cups from your refrigerator and pour hot tea into them. Use safe, non-abrasive detergents and cloths to clean your ceramics. The scalloped edges of Tea Rose plates tend to be more delicate than the edges of traditional flat plates.
