Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The elegant pastoral scenes of Churchill China’s Brook Blue dinnerware create a graceful, intimate table. Combining a rich palette of deep blues and an off white background, the dinnerware features an ornate border of basket weave and grapevines. Within the border, peaceful scenes of cottages, trees, meadows, and brooks are executed in all the detail of the original etchings. These scenes change from piece to piece for a varied but harmonious effect. Sculptural waves on the rims and bodies of the dinnerware catch the light and add a pleasing texture.

Designed for groups, this 45-piece collection includes eight 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. Rounding out the set, the five completer pieces include an oval platter, a vegetable bowl, a creamer, a sugar bowl, and a sugar bowl lid. The Brook Blue line is made from high-fired earthenware and has a chip-resistant glossy glaze over the transfer-printed pattern. Designed to withstand frequent use, it is safe in the microwave, freezer, and dishwasher. --Emily Bedard

1.0 out of 5 stars I am ashamed of you amazon.com, February 28, 2007

This review is from: Churchill China Brook Blue 45-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 8 (Kitchen)

This set says it's made in England. IT IS NOT. It's made in Columbia. As for the quality, shame, shame, shame. I am so disappointed. Many of the pieces have faded colors, and very noticable. I am too embarrassed to use this setting, the faded coloring is that noticable. I hate to have to return a HUGE, HEAVY box! But I will. I wonder if I'll order anything but books and music from this site. The only reason I went with this set was from the rave reviews it got.

Just received shipment of the 45 pc. set and was very pleased at both the quality and appearance. It appears "older" than it is because of the paler blue tones. The English do a lovely job in quality control. The set, being stoneware, is sturdy and will take some abuse.

One thing - if you purchase the 20 pc. set and/or the 5 pc. completer set of the same pattern be prepared for a different appearance. These sets are made in Colombia, the colors are more saturated, the quality not as nice. Also, the Colombian sets include cereal bowls and bread & butter plates (vs. soup bowls and luncheon plates in the English set). The platter and veg dish are also slightly smaller.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very, very nice!, December 2, 2004

I ordered this dinnerware about six months ago and have used it daily since. I have found the quality to be exceptional and have not seen any differences in the coloring, as another reviewer did.

I might add that with all my other plates and bowls, I managed to put chips in the edges quickly. Despite my clumsy handling of this dinnerware, I have not made a single chip!

I would order this set again in a heartbeat - the price is wonderful and the dishes are lovely!
