My mother purchased the 50 piece Crestwood Platinum starter set for my husband and I for our engagement party. Over the years she has bought most of the remaining pieces for this set. I love to use this set when we are entertaining guests throughout the year. It is a conversation starter and really helps make our table look complete. I have received many compliments about how durable, easy to clean, and timeless the pattern is. I have and will continue to recommend this pattern to friends and family. All of my china and crystal is Noritake.
