Alright, the set-up: You have 10 of these Johnson Brothers 'His Majesty' dinner plates, and 10 cups and saucers. You have no soup bowls, salad plates, or chargers. You want to set a Turkey Day table that is stylish and fun, the transferware serving as a nod to tradition. What do you mix with these?
My first thought was Wedgwood drabware, but I think it's too tan. I've also seen a solid ivory plate with a basketweave textured rim, but I can't remember where. Your thoughts?

A very simple cream classic design would not fight with the intricacy of your Thanksgiving pattern

Isn't that ivory with basketweave Wedgwood?
Can you mix with Spode Woodlands?
I'd probably go with the ivory.
