At first I thought this was part of a set of four. I was disappointed when I got it. It was beautiful an intricate so I ordered another one so I would have a matching one for my table. I did not need anything elaborate but this would be beautiful as a charger under some beautiful plates. I can see why it was so expensive. But it is just me at Christmas time. Although it was extravagant for me I will enjoy it after all I'm worth it!
