Rosarium 18" Glass Place-Setting & Presentation Board — Pink China Rose

Created as the foundation of the Rosarium service for 60 commissioned for the House of Windsor, this substantial rectangular glass form established the stage upon which the collection’s elaborate place settings were built.

The Pink China Rose—the signature pattern selected for the commission—sweeps across Lesley Roy’s softly crackled ground, framed by luminous hand-finished edges. Measuring an impressive 18.5" × 14.5", the generous flat surface was designed to extend beyond the dinnerware layered above it, allowing the rose itself to become part of each individual place setting.

Remarkably versatile, the form feels just as relevant for entertaining today. Beyond its original use as a glass place-setting mat, it can become a spectacular charcuterie or cheese board, individual dining board, serving piece, centerpiece foundation, or presentation surface for desserts, cocktails and beautifully composed food.

Substantial in both scale and weight, it is part functional tableware, part decorative object—and a surviving example of one of the most significant private commissions in the history of the Rosarium Collection.

Dimensions: 18.5" × 14.5"
