The items are true-to-size and life-like in appearance. However, the packaging was terrible, and one of the pots had multiple cracks. The three pots were set into cheap plastic that looked like a cupcake holder (see photo). There was no additional protection in the box at all. Fortunately the pottery cracked like a hard-boiled egg, so everything stayed in place. I will keep the order, since they are going on a shelf and I can turn the cracked side to the wall. UPDATE: After I sent a message that the packaging was poor, they sent me another complete set, which was undamaged, and I didn’t have to return the broken piece, so I’m upgrading my review from 3-stars to 4-stars, with my compliments to the customer service staff! But the packaging is still poor, so don’t be surprised if your order arrives damaged, but know that customer service will take care of you.
