So I’m finally getting around to buying dishes so I can host a proper dinner party. These are absolutely perfect. They are formal enough that they make a full dresses table look stunning but durable enough that you don’t have to worry about them getting chipped. They are dishwasher save and have a lovely glaze on them. The texture on the plates makes look very interesting- much better than the plain white dishes I had been using previously. There is a slight antiquing under the glaze that helps the texture really pop. Each plate is slightly different. They don’t have a mass production feel to them. These get two big thumbs up from me. Visually appealing, unique, yet durable. Oh, the cups are a bit bigger than I thought they would be from the picture. They are the size/shape of a proper english tea cup. Wider on top, narrower on the bottom. They do not look like a coffee mug. I was very pleasantly surprised.

I received this item only a couple of days after I ordered it. The plates are solid white with a sheer glaze that gives them an old-fashioned elegance. Practical enough for everyday use but perfectly acceptable for a more formal occasion, this set is well-made and highly recommended. I only wish there were more pieces to expand the set. Go nicely with clear stemware.

Dishes were on back order and not to arrive before mid march but were here by valentine’s day. nothing broken. I love the shapes of the dishes..just wish they had the completer sets available, but they are available in some of the high end gift and card shops. Price was much better here and shipping was cheaper than the manufacturer’s site. I’m very pleased.
