I've Had No Problems, August 17, 2006
This review is from: Sango Splash 4-Piece Hostess Set (Kitchen)
Although I can definitely sympathize with shipping issue, I have had these dishes for about a year and a half and have not chipped one yet. I have service for 16 (big family) and we use them every day. From sink to table to dishwasher and away again... I have had no problems.

Very nice, February 2, 2009
This review is from: Sango Splash 4-Piece Hostess Set (Kitchen)
Well I ordered these through Amazon and some of the items came broken. I called Amazon and sent a replacement order very quickly and all the items are intact. I am very happy with the purchase as it goes well with our current set of Sango dinner and salad plates.

This set is gorgeous, earthy, and looks handmade, August 15, 2007
This review is from: Sango Splash 4-Piece Hostess Set (Kitchen)
For those of us who like things to look a little bit earthy, Sango's Splash Brown stoneware is really a steal. It gives you a handmade look... without the handmade price.
Each piece sticks to the same scheme, but every piece is a little different, due to the way the "splashed-on" glaze is applied and fired. The base color, the "brown" referred to in the name, is not just brown -- it's a semi-flat glaze with striated sets of rich coffee tones ranging from pale to espresso. The "splash" is a full-gloss glaze in grey-blues, grey-greens, and richer & darker coffee colors. The contrast between the semi-flat base colors and the full-gloss splashes give this pattern a lot of visual interest and handmade appeal.
The Hostess Set is gorgeous, no question. The butter dish is rather big (as far as 1/4 lb butter dishes go), and my mother threatened to steal it the moment she saw it. Although the salt and pepper shakers look a bit (for lack of a better word) lumpy in Amazon's pictures, that's an optical illusion resulting from the striations in the base glaze -- the salt and pepper shakers are cylindrical with straight, smooth sides. Like the butter dish, the shakers are also slightly bigger than one typically encounters, but the unexpected size lends a lot to their charm and handmade look.
Because of the variety of colors in the different glazes, this set could easily be integrated into other sets/patterns of dishes, be they stoneware, china, glass, or whatever -- making this Hostess Set a great gift. Of course, if you see this set in person, you'll probably want to keep it for yourself.
