The dinnerware arrived on time and perfect condition.  I am very happy with the set, just in time for spring (Easter) table coming up!  It lifts ones spirits with the pretty pattern.  As one customer said, the pattern not as distinct as expected but all pieces are the same and it does not affect the quaint appearance and beautiful garden scenes.  I really love the mugs as they are a very nice size, not too small!  Glad I purchased it!
