A very good deal,

This review is from: Portmeirion Botanic Garden Amazon Exclusive 20-Piece Starter Set, Service for 4 (Kitchen)
This is beautiful, tough, well-made china. It was actually made in Great Britain, and is by no means second quality stuff. The plates are rather deep with a rim of 3/4". The painting is crisp, and the patterns are centered on every dish (This seems to be a problem for other manufacturers to judge by the reviews.)
This set has the advantage of glasses (which I needed) rather than cups or mugs more commonly offered in sets (which I didn't need.) Portmeirion has apparently improved the highball glass quality since 2006; the glass thickness is now over 1/16" thick, and tempered. Earlier reviews had complained that the glasses were like eggshells. It comes very well packaged in four nested boxes. However, one glass (out of eight) was chipped. Rather than send the whole set back to Amazon ($$$), I called Portmeirion USA in CT, and they sent out a new glass within a week. Customer Service for Portmeirion was very nice. The set is common enough to get replacements and expansion pieces readily, too. The hardest thing about this set is finding flatware to go with it, as I couldn't find any recommendations. I ended up pairing it with "Medina" by Villeroy & Boch. The table looks great now. I highly recommend this set.

After reading reviews about the Portmeirion starter set, I was sold and purchased three sets! Thank you to everyone before me who helped me decide these dishes were worth purchasing. I absolutely love them and think of Amazon every time I look at them.

This review is from: Portmeirion Botanic Garden Amazon Exclusive 20-Piece Starter Set, Service for 4 (Kitchen)
I waited with anticipation and when it finally arrived the product was not packaged properly. couple of the dishes were broken and I had to send the entire package back and not just the broken pieces. The place mats and the cups are made in China (just so there is no misunderstanding of the product). It would be great if the product description is more detailed. some of the portmeirions are made in China and not the same quality as the ones made in England/Brittan. Most of the collectors are particular to the country of origin.
