Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I own an older piece from England. It hangs on my wall, the color is very bright after all of these years.
My newer ones that I just purchased from here, which are made in China- huge difference in color tone, not as bright.
The glaze - some pieces have a couple of bumps just minor flaws. As far as stacking them up on a shelf, it needs paper towel in between pieces for some of the very edges of the plates are not smooth as my older piece has a very smooth back.
Dinner plates - nice, pretty
Salad plates - nice, pretty
Cereal bowl - nice, pretty
Cup and saucer -
Cup very small design not as pretty to look at it. It looks very cheap comparing with the rest of the set.
Saucer, picture not as visible.
Very poor job on both pieces, not as dainty and delicate as the older Johnson Brothers from England. I was very disappointed with both pieces.
Overall review -
The feel of the pieces are the same as my older piece. Glaze and looks are OK, it could be better, taking in consideration that this carries the title/name of a well known name in the tableware/china industry.
I am very sadden that some of the major British dinnerware companies have given up quality for production costs.
I gave it a four star because the set still looks very charming and pretty overall. It still makes a very attractive dinner table with all of the charms of the past.
Shipping was quick. Well packaged and no broken pieces.
