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!

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.

Suppose to come from England. Mine came from Columbia, what happened to the ones from England. Sent it back through Amazon.

Turn special occasions into every day with this gorgeous set. Yes, and I didn't read the reviews before I purchased them, and bought this set to increase my older set with the same pattern. The sizes are different and the bowls are different. It ended up working out to give me some great variety with a traditional pattern, though. Who'd have thought? Hip and traditional!

The pattern is absolutely beautiful, and for the price, you really can't beat it.

When I first saw this pattern on-line, I was truly impressed with the design. This pattern was exactly what I had been searching for such a long time.

However, after I received the shipment, I couldn't believe how even more beautiful these dishes were...and they compliment the wallpaper that's in my dining room!

Best purchase I have made in a very long time.

I ordered two sets of the service for 4 and the completer set at the beginning of this month (March). When I ordered them they were $49.99 for the dishes and $44.99 for the completer set. Today, March 25, the service for 4 is $88! Why has the price risen so much in a matter of weeks? The service for 8 is even more outrageous! I am enjoying my new dishes. They arrived intact, though there are a few "chips" on the side of them and color discrepancies as well. Decent for what I paid, but NOT for the price they are being offered for now. I will not order more sets until the price comes back down.

One of the things that influenced my decision to buy these dishes is that I liked the idea of them being made in England. I ordered the 20-piece service for four. They arrived, and on the backs they are stamped "Made in Columbia." I'm sending them back, hoping to get a replacement set made in England as it says in the description. HOWEVER: if they were priced lower, I would like them even though they were made in Columbia: they're still nice dishes, and pretty. I don't want to pay this much for dishes not made in England, though.

Item exactly as promised. Price was higher than local store that had same pattern but was no longer carrying item. Most items we order on internet ship within 48 hours so we thought a 7 to 10 day wait was a bit long.

I guess I'll repeat what some others have said. These dishes are made in Columbia, not England. I have Churchill dishes like these that were made in England. The English dishes don't chip and have worn very well. I wanted dishes from the same place because presumably they would be made with the same materials and be just as strong. I was very disappointed to see that the dishes I bought over this website were made in Columbia when Amazon said they were made in Englad. To be fair to the manufacturer, the quality of the Columbian dishes looks the same as the ones made in England. I won't know for a while how they hold up.
