Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The pastoral scenes and rich blues of Churchill China’s Brook Blue dinnerware create a graceful, intimate table. Starting with an off white background, the dinnerware features an ornate border of basket weave and grapevines. Within it, peaceful scenes of cottages, trees, meadows, and brooks are executed in all the detail of the original etchings. The scenes change from piece to piece for a varied but harmonious effect, while sculptural waves on the rims add a unifying texture.

A great place to start your collection, this 20-piece set of Brook Blue includes four place settings, each with a 10-inch dinner plate, an 8-inch salad plate, an 8-3/4-inch rimmed bowl, a 5-1/2-inch saucer, and an 8-ounce teacup. Each piece is made from high-fired earthenware and has a chip-resistant glossy glaze over the transfer-printed pattern. Designed to withstand frequent use, the set is safe in the microwave, freezer, and dishwasher. --Emily Bedard

Product Description

Brook Blue dinnerware is produced by utilising the centuries old art of transfer printing from original engravings which bring to life the scenes of an English rural countryside. The Cottages, Churches, Brooks & landscapes are long forgotten in this modern world however they do still exist & we at Churchill try to bring the best out in these scenes by reproducing our ceramics the way our forefathers did in the 18th Century. Each Piece is processed and handled at least 50 times before it is finally made ready for our customers. By purchasing a 20 Piece starter Dinner set you will also enjoy the rustic way of life from bygone years.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT MADE IN ENGLAND, October 18, 2006

I also purchased the Churchill China Brook Blue set of 8 (45 pieces) and the completer set, intending to have a matched set of 12. WRONG. The set of 8 was indeed made in England and contained soup bowls (listing on Amazon only says "bowls"). The set is very nice and has high quality. The set of 4 and the completer set, however, are MADE IN COLOMBIA. The color is more saturated, the salad dishes are about 2 inches smaller than those made in England, the "bowls" are cereal bowls, and the vegetable bowl and platter are both smaller and less detailed than those made in England. Suggestion: if you want consistancy, order two sets of the 45 pieces and don't fool with the add-ons. Amazon could not guarantee the ancillary pieces would be from England.... despite the on-line description to that effect!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice set but didn't match 'Product Description', October 24, 2005

By 

Mrs. Gardiner - See all my reviews

This review is from: Churchill China Brook Blue 20-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 4 (Kitchen)

The set I received did not match the written 'Product Description' though it did match the picture. The set included the 6 3/4 inch bread & butter plates & the 6 inch cereal bowls instead of the 8 inch salad plates & 8 3/4 inch rimmed bowls (as described September, 2005.) Thus, unfortunately it doesn't match the 45 piece dinnerware set (8 place settings) of the same design which I also ordered.

Having said all that, it is still a very nice set. The 6 inch cereal bowls will probably be used more often in our family than the rimmed bowls. The quality seems very good & it was packaged securely.

Chirchill Brook Blue is a very elegant china made in best traditions of the 18th Century aristocratic Europe. High quality - made in England. I enjoy it in everyday dining as well as for formal gatherings.
