Loved the set they arrived early they were packed incredibly well...only issue i had was I felt the tea cups were small ...an then I compared them to my outher Sets of China an stoneware "Mikasa"was one an yes they are smaller tea cups an if I knew that ahead of time I wouldn't of purchased them..For that was one of the main reasons I purchased this set the ( Tea cups & saucers) for were English tea drinkers ..so were going to decide weather to return the set or keep them in next few days ...just really disappointed why they have such a small tea cup (the height is normal but the diameter is probably  2 ozs less than an avg tea cup ...)..an its that set issue not a "Mikasa" issue cuz my outher Mikasa are the larger diameter tea cups ..as well as well as Royal China an 2 outhers i have ....thanks
