I've been collecting the 5 piece place setting for almost 30 years.  I have a place setting in almost every color.  Now, you are discontinuing it?  Those of us that love the 5 piece place setting will have to pay more to create the 5 piece setting by buying the 3 piece classic set and then the teacup and saucer separately.  This currently means an increase cost of $10.00.  I have said for years that a person only needs a limited number of place settings.  I currently have almost 40 place settings. Maybe I have reached that limit.  This makes me very sad!! Please reconsider!!!!!
