Charming and useful tableware

I drink tea and so does family, though most of us do not sweeten it, but we might start just so we can use this item which does work and which does wash just fine in the dishwasher.  This was bought as much for fun as for use.

I love most of the colors Fiesta stoneware comes in.  (The green and flamingo are barfy, the black not black enough.)  It is very heavy as dishes go.  With an assortment of colors, the effect is very jolly on your table for informal meals.  Get lots of yellow and red to liven up the look with the dark navy blue and purple.  The turquoise, cinnamon and lime green are all charming.  Matter of taste, of course.  P.S.  The mugs are too small to be manhandlers  (8 oz to the rim).  I use the smaller serving bowl for soup and cereal--big and heavy.

The deep color, sturdiness and generous size of these makes for a beautifully set table adding a bit of an exotic kick. Out of the eight I received only one was duller in color. I also purchased salad plates, bowls and serving pieces from this seller and have been pleased with all purchases.  Most dishes are perfectly matched color-wise and as the written insert says there will be differences because each one is hand made. They are also lead free so even though I will be in Morocco soon I felt this was a safer way to purchase these gorgeous plates.

These were well made and very pretty. They will come in handy for dinners.

Beautiful and useful. It is hardly possible to ask for more.

Very eclectic mix of items - but all very pretty! There's a fair bit of cookery: comfits and cordials and cookies and cupcakes (sounds like a sentence out of Alice) And a wonderful teapot cake - and invitations, place-cards and aprons to set off your tea party.
A cute jewellery idea incorporating a dolls' tea service; a mobile with the Cheshire cat at the top; a March hare teacosy (complete with ears). And of course lavender dormice...
I couldn't quite see the link of some items with the book: much as I loved the furniture decorated with fabric or the floral 'Tweedledee & Tweedledum' shoe bags.
But it's all adorable and I think an older girl would love to attempt these projects. (Can't imagine buying it for an adult - not quite inspiring enough for a grown-up craft enthusiast.)

The serving pieces are nice.  I am not fond of the "hammered" look of the handles; I could not tell that they were from the pictures.  But the pieces are so useful and a good weight that I am keeping them.

I am pretty happy with this set.  It looks nicer than on the photo.  It is 18/8 stainless, but has a good weight to it.  Fork and knife are perfect.  Soup spoon could be a little bigger, desert spoon a little smaller; salad fork is on the wide side. Serving pieces are a nice bonus.  I bought this on sale for around $45; nice rustic looks for every-day flatware.

The plates, bowls, and mugs in this 16-piece dinnerware set are exactly as their description promises: lovely and elegant though the Amaryllis design goes well beyond a winter or holiday theme.  The mugs and salad plates match while the bowls and dinner plates are the same design.  The entire set is currently displayed in our hutch.

However the set is rather heavy to hold and yet they also seem a bit fragile.  This may seem an odd statement but the painted design appears that it might be easy to chip and I didn't want to test this too intensely since honestly these are a beautiful set.

I did notice that the bowls and the salad plates are slightly larger than my everyday dishes and my formal dinnerware that I previously had.  In fact, the bowls are at almost twice our normal bowls and the small plates around one third larger.  The mugs and dinner plates are approximately the size I am used to.

This is a lovely set of dinnerware. My only real concerns are their potential fragile nature and their heaviness.

Nice set, quite useful. Most of the pieces are of good quality, a couple could be better, but that is acceptable since those pieces I would consider "fluff", to make the set more appealing.

I really love this flatware set.  The forks/spoons/knives are the perfect size, not too small and not over-sized like some sets.  They look sleek and clean, and they're not patterned so they won't become dated. I love the knives, they are an interesting shape and can be placed on the table edge-down, which looks pretty fancy.  Some people complained that the knives fall off the table / plate but I haven't had the same problem, they work just the same as any other knives.

The cutlery goes through the dishwasher well and I haven't had any issues with them yet.  I also like the serving spoons and extra pieces that come with this set - a very nice addition.  Overall I would highly recommend this set.

So useful for preparing, serving and storing food. Plastic tops hold up well in the dishwasher. The retro design work adds charm. Great bridal shower gift.

Very pretty, useful everyday kitchen glassware. We have bought 2 boxes so far.

I have 16 settings with add'l serving platters, serving bowls, salt & pepper, sugar bowl and creamer.  The separately listed soup bowls are the same item included in the 16 piece set.  Items were well-packed and all arrived unbroken.  Do not expect a perfect finish.  It is not fine china.  About half of the items have minor blemishes, but they are not readily noticable unless you look for them.  This may add to the rustic character of the dinnerware for some.  The design is subdued and matches our dark teakwood dining table.  The dishes hold up well to everyday use; none broken or chipped with accidental bumping against other dishes or hard surfaces.  Only drawback has been that water spots and fingerprints are very visible on the flat finish of the blue colored border.

Well made, useful, attractive for entertaining, and makes a great gift. Cost of the set is almost a much as ordering an individual butter knife - vey cost effective.

This is a high-quality place setting with a large dinner plate, a smaller but still generous salad plate, a gracefully shaped bowl for soup or rice or cereal, and a mug that's narrow enough for your car's cup holder. All the pieces feature a rhythmic pattern inspired by bamboo, in heavy relief.

The color is the bright aqua found in the Lenox British Colonial dishes in the Bamboo rather than the Tradewind colorway, and these dishes will work beautifully with that pattern. It includes gold-banded plates, tropical scenes, and nostalgic ships. On their own, the Carved dishes are more casual -- perfect for everyday use.

They're dishwasher and microwave safe, too, unlike the rest of the British Colonial collection.

The heavy textured design looks great, though it's a little odd to have it right at the rim of the cup. Not uncomfortable, but noticeable when you drink. Overall, this is a high quality, practical choice.

This is beautiful, quality flatware in a sleek, minimalist design that feels good in the hand.
