Due to Noritake's reputation and my prior experience with it (our fine china is Noritake "Coleman") we chose Noritake for our everyday wear. We have been extremely disappointed with the quality of this Colorwave Blue pattern. It shows scratches and many pieces have chipped. Even a few pieces have broken! Only my husband and I use this dinnerware, so it is not as if children are being careless with it. I am very grateful for the opportunity to be able to express to you my dissatisfaction with the product and would welcome your response. I would hope you would replace the broken and chipped pieces. It would be impossible to replace all the scratched pieces as that would be the entire dinnerware.
