I am thrilled with these dishes. These sets on Wayfair made them as affordable as dishware of much less quality. And they are made in England again after a brief production period in China. I was delighted that I was getting mugs rather than teacups and saucers which are much less in use these days. And I am particularly in love with the design of the mug. The handle has been beautifully and ergonomically shaped, giving you a perfect grip . This is a pattern that has been around since the 1800s, so will always be easily replaced or added to unlike trendy patterns and will always be in good taste.
