<p>[QUOTE="northernridge, post: 23881, member: 215"]I have six each 10 1/8" dinner plates and 8 3/8" (appetizer? salad? dessert?) plates.

It's pretty, and has what I'd call understated elegance. It appears to be gold and silver encrusted (though there's no tarnish present to indicate actual silver; I take the gold to be the gold leaf commonly found on china). The triple band is about 5/8" wide.
