I purchased a set of 4 place settings which I love so I bought 8 more recently from Macy's. They have a different glaze?? Dull and lighter?

Hi Connecticut girl, I have not bought any of the Mikasa recently, so I can not compare. I would think if they are different, it would be due to the glaze finish coming from different batches. Just as paint or tile, each batch can be a shade off from each other. When I bought all of mine, all of the place settings were the same. What was different were the add on extra pieces, like the pasta set. That was due to them being made in different plants, in different countries. Their weight and material were not even the same. But, the place settings should be the same, coming from the same plant. I would go back to saying the batch is off from being made a different times. I'm sorry you didn't get the same match that you love so much. Too bad it's not the other way around, then you could pick up more now that match the ones you just bought.

no, it is not as smooth as glazed ceramic, it has a very subtle texture, which to me feels perfect. almost like a super smooth black board :)

Sorry, I didn't see the request until much later: Tiles are muted blends and look/feel like stone. Greens, browns, slight burgundies and gold color swirls. It goes with the laminate flooring that appears to look like stone; it too has that muted blend of colors and swirls. I was surprised at how well they went together!

I'm not sure but I bought my first set in store at Macy's then the second set later at amazon and it was the exact same. I love this set

There are slight differences in the shape and actual glass clarity. My originals are a slightly amber color and the new are very clear glass. Also I think that the new break easier than my originals and the logo print is not the same.

Wait but I have the all exterior stainless steel this model is not. I bought mine at Macy's for about $115.00 with tax on sale. Saved on shipping.

Dear Nicole,I believe the finish is the same throughout the product. More than likely it is probably a problem with the lighting.Thank you

I live in a humid area and the glaze has a tacky feel to it until it has cured completely, which can take several days. I think heat itself would not make it turn tacky, but contact with moisture like sweat or humidity definitely does. It also tends to yellow in the sun. If you need a non-tacky finish I would recommend a final coat of wood varnish, which dries smooth, or if you need something with dimension try UV resin.

I found the pads did not do well and just used the brushes. On my wood floors also. I plan to use them for my new tile which still has some dullness where the grout was removed. The pads would get bunched up. I think they were just too thin. Try the brushes in a small spot and see what happens.

the glass is more sea foam green than gray. I bought the vanity because I had bought a walk in tub with green frosted glass. They look beautiful together. You will not be disappointed. The answer below from the seller is more accurate than mine. The "color" is a tint of green not gray.

They are stoneware so shouldn't scratch too much....however my set of Orleans stoneware from Pfalzgraf is all scratched up in the white center where it really shows up, due to use of steak knives....not sure how the Hearthstone, which is also stoneware I believe, compares.

Sorry to hear that Jill. We are on our 4th box and the texture has been fairly consistent. What I have noticed is that the size of the "flake" might be dependent on how much the box was adjutated during shipping.

I mixed them with clear and didn't like it but black could look cool. The glass is a beautiful blue and the size of the pieces were good I just didn't like it with the clear. Hope that helps

I am very sorry to say I will not be able to get anymore of this color. However if i may suggest a different style I have many sets of Royal Daulton 4 pc place setting in blue. They are very attractive and I have 8 set i use for myself. Besides being very attractive light weight I put them in the mircowave the food heats up but the plates do not. you can find these on my site using this link. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005V3QQS6. Not knowing how many sets you need I do have 3 sets of Portmeirion Sophie Conran Mulberry 4-Piece Place Setting which you can view at this link http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0088Y64DM. This is also a very beatiful set. I hope this helps. And thank you for contacting me with any questions.

I really don't know. You could look at their other offerings and approximate the colors you need to replace. Most likely, they want you to repurchase the item. I find that I also use the same colors (this is my 3rd palette) and I do like the mirrors and the fact that its one unit, rather than separate items.

Hi, the manufacturer Info can be found at http://www.anatoliatile.com/bliss_glass_stone.html.I think I know the Costco tiles you are talking about and the stone on them was not as nice. For the price, the Costco tiles are fine but I didn't like the color. They were more greenish/taupe tones while these are more beige/brown.I hope this helps.

Good question...so good that I don't have the answer. I will tell you this - there wasn't ONE word of exaggeration in my review..my grout was sparkling, like new white grout..there's the key word "white". My other bathroom has light tan grout. Zep got the stains up but did NOT BLEACH IT. since I'm only talking light tan, I would not use that as the green light to use it on your colored grout. I just looked at my bottle and there's a customer service line for questions like yours...I'm sure it's on their website too...Yeah, I know, you where hoping for "real world" results..well that can be you once you use Zepp then brag about your beautiful floors!
