5.0 out of 5 stars Dishes for a red & white kitchen, October 29, 2002

Original Review Oct 28, 2002 - gave it 4 stars at the time
This set of dishes is very nice. My wife would like to have a red & white kitchen and finding truly red dishes is very difficult to do. We bought one set of these to make sure they were really red (not burgundy). We felt the price is a bit high on these dishes. However, we bought this set when they were including a set of bowls free which made the price seem more reasonable.

Unfortunately, the dishes came broken in dozens of pieces. So we had to send them back. The description makes these dishes sounds somewhat indestructible which is obviously not true. Then again we've all seen how some shipping companies handle products. Amazon.com handled the return very professionally. By the time we got the replacement set and had a chance to see them for a week to make sure it is what we wanted Amazon.com discontinued the free bowl sets.

If you don't mind spending $ for one set of dishes this set is very usable and looks great. The dishes were not as heavy as I expected them to be. They seemed to be very well made. My wife likes the lip on the dinner plate, it keeps juices from dripping off the side.

If the free bowl deal comes back we will be buying more of these.

Update to Review Dec. 30, 2002
The bowl deal never came back but one Friday afternoon Amazon dropped the price significantly on these sets. We purchased 7 more sets. The following Monday the price was back to list. When we received the new sets, two were broken. We were able to piece together one good set out of the two broken sets and returned just one broken set. We quickly received a replacement set.

We love these dishes and despite the poor packing between the dishes for shipping I've upgraded our rating to a 5. We've since bought other Emile Henry Red pieces. The dishes are very well made, are a nice large size and very attractive.

Now if I could just get back to finishing the kitchen my wife would be happy!

I own both Le Creuset and Emile Henry cookware and serving pieces and I have to admit when it comes to red colours Emile Henry wins hands down. This is the most beautiful and vivid a red and as sappy as it sounds, the colour literally makes me smile. His dishes are beautiful and so well made.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Dinnerware!, January 6, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Emile Henry Couleurs 4-Piece White Place Setting, Service for 1 (Kitchen)

These dishes are wonderful - strong and attractive, with just the right weight. When I first picked up the dinner plate, I was surprised by how nice and heavy it felt - great quality. It's important to know that the pieces ARE NOT an opaque white color - when I ordered mine I was expecting these solid bright white pieces. Rather, they are more of a translucent bright white glaze - beautiful still, but not solid. Nonetheless, I am in love with the dinnerware and could never return any of the pieces!
