Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Nothing says modern luxury like platinum, and just a touch is all that's needed for understated elegance. Royal Doulton starts with all-white porcelain china and simply adds a narrow platinum edge to create Simply Platinum. The gleaming dinnerware sets a dressy table for an all-out wedding anniversary bash, then shows its modest side for a quiet Sunday brunch. Colorful table linens can add a lively flair.
This 45-piece set contains place settings for eight, each consisting of a dinner plate, salad plate, bread-and-butter plate, cup, and saucer. Two serving accessories--an oval platter and a round open vegetable bowl--along with a creamer and covered sugar bowl make this an excellent gift set for a couple ready to entertain. While Simply Platinum is dishwasher-safe, Royal Doulton recommends using an air-drying cycle to prevent heat- softening of the lustrous platinum. --Ann Bieri

Negative 5 Stars: Unappealing Product, Exaggerated Savings,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Royal Doulton Simply Platinum 45-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 8 (Kitchen)
[...]
I noticed that AMZN has edited my original review. For the record, I bought my set from AMZN for $180 and I have never paid the original ticker price of $1,000. I bought the set because of past good experience with Doulton and AMZN. I must say I am extremely disappointed: - There is no way this set is worth the $1,000 original ticker price. The make is crude and rough on the edges; the finish looks more like some dirt cheap stoneware than fine porcelain and has none of the natural luminousness that normally radiates from china. - The design of the set is appalling. There is only one metallic ring around the plates/cups with a color that resembles the hospital sheets. - The surface of the plates looks unpolished, with small bumps here and there. It makes you feel like looking at an adolescent pimply face. Just imagine eating from it. - The very small picture posted on Amazon's website certainly has its purpose: it obstructs a close inspection. And you cannot find any information on Doulton's website. I start to wonder whether these plates are genuinely Royal Doulton. I am returning mine to Amazon tomorrow! It's heavy and is a waste of time! And please look somewhere else for the set that you desire. -------------------------------- Some of the more recent reviewers seem to have a positive experience with their purchase. I think there could be 2 reasons to that: - These reviewers can not tell the difference between China and cheap stoneware; or - My purchase was counterfeit. But I consider this a remote possibility.

Royal Ripoff!,
This review is from: Royal Doulton Simply Platinum 45-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 8 (Kitchen)
I eagerly anticipated the arrival of my new Royal Doulton set... only to be sorely disappointed.
These plates are not made in England, rather in Bangladesh and do not exhibit the quality one expects from Doulton. [...]

CHEAPLY MADE JUNK CHINA,
By
This review is from: Royal Doulton Simply Platinum 45-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 8 (Kitchen)
Royal Doulton no longer produces china in the UK.
This set is made in China. Doulton is clearly too embarrassed to mention this as the items I saw had no "Made in..." mark on the product, but some had "Made in China" stickers on the back. It lacks the elegance of RD's English-made products; the surface is bumpy and the glaze is poor. When handling it, the product feels very cheaply made. Do not confuse this product with the UK made Royal Doulton (Fusion) Platinum series which is beautifully made bone china, but now discontinued. If you want to check out this junk, it's available at T. J. Maxx for a couple of bucks a piece!!
