I ordered these for my mother and they came in perfect condition. An earlier review scared me off a little originally, as they said the bowls showed up broken. I had no such problem, and the bowls themselves are beautiful and very useful - I use them for salads as well as pasta.

I am very pleased with these bowls. They are perfect for all sorts of things that the teeny, weeny bowls that come with a service of this china are too small to accomplish (must be a European thing.) The bowls are a nice size for tossed salad, soup, stew or pasta (of course.) They are very pretty and arrived extremely well packed with not a scratch on them.

I also stayed away from ordering this item due to the earlier review, but took the plunge when I read the second review. So glad I did - they arrived completely safely, without a scratch. Thank you, Amazon! They're made in Britain and as beautiful and high quality as PBG items should be.

I have the set of dishes with small bowls, but these are so much better. My husband likes them for soup. They are beautiful and very sturdy. I use them for everyday dishes.

These pasta bowls were given as a gift. After reading some of the other reviews I was a little concerned about the condition in which they would arrive. They arrived in excellent condition and were very well received. The recipients love them and find them useful for more than just pasta. I might add that they have a large collection of Portmeirion Botanic Garden dishes and say these fit into the collection beautifully.

The bowls arrived today in their box, in 100's of pieces, tossed into a bigger box with completely inadequate padding. It is no wonder they are all broken. Today is 1-6-2010. Buyer beware. I love amazon, but this is second time breakable things have arrived broken, due to poor packaging.

I received two shipments for this product. They were both received broken into many pieces. The dishes had no protection during shipment. Please notify shipping department to pack these items correctly!
