About our Plates
Laurelwood offers 8 1/8" fine china dog breed plates, with a hand-painted gold rim and an
original breed design in a rich brown color. Designs are fired into the plates and are not just decals floating on the surface.
Laurelwood artists do an excellent job of representing true breed type in each of our 63 breeds.
Each year's design is a limited edition of just 150 plates per breed. The reverse side of the plate is marked with the breed name, year and our Laurelwood name.
The plates are eggshell in color.
All our plates from 2000 forward are on our web site. However, we also have plates for many breeds dating back to 1977--the year we started
making plates. These plates are ivory colored. If you would like a brochure on available plates
for your breed prior to 2000, please Contact Us
and we will send you one promptly.
Please note that plates are a challenge to photograph and any blurs, spots or glare seen in any photographed plates are
the photographs, not on the plate itself. Also, the rims on all plates are actual gold--some photo's make the rims look
darker. Laurelwood guarantees your satisfaction.

Credit card security and processing
Your personal information is safe with Laurelwood. We do everything in our power to protect your personal information
including using a multi-layered, secure server for our Internet orders. To further the security, all orders are processed by us--not by the server--which means
when you send us an order, your credit card is not charged until we receive the order and hand process it. This means if you place your order on
Saturday and we don't process your order until Monday afternoon, your credit card will not be charged until Monday afternoon.
By hand processing orders, this also means that if you discover an error in your order, immediately after pressing the "send your order" button, you can e-mail us and we can correct the order. We
strive to be easy to deal with, so don't panic if you discover you made an error. Together we will make it right. We love happy customers!

Questions or Errors
If you have a question or there is ANY problems with your order, please just contact us.
When you contact us, please make sure you include your name and invoice number--we cannot resolve any problem without the invoice number.
Whether you ordered the wrong plate, or we sent the wrong plate (we ship thousands of plates each year and we are human) we'll do everything we can to promptly
fix the problem. Also remember, since we are human, niceness counts.
Our goal is happy, satisfied customers who treasure our plates.
