These dishes are so cute - I love that the collection is open stock, so you can pick the pieces you need and skip the ones you don't. However, I have ordered these multiple times and have not been able to collect enough pieces that don't have blemishes in the finish. I ordered four 5-piece sets and nearly every tea cup had little glaze-less dimples in the finish that showed up as bright white dots, two salad plates were scratched, and one dinner plate arrived in pieces. I returned the boxes with defective pieces and re-ordered more, this time including a 16-piece set to have a mix of mugs and tea cups. While washing dishes today, I noticed that 2 of the bowls have rough, unfinished edges. I'm so tired of this lack of quality control, I'm going to return the whole set and get something else. I will say that these are lovely IF you are able to put together a complete set - but expect to have to make multiple returns for that to happen.
