Absolutely lovely.  I'm not a rose kind of gal and didn't want anything fussy.  This is elegant and I'm intending on using it with a variety of tea pots (porcelain and Hotel Ware) and trays.  On a daily basis, I have my tea in Japanese Tea Bowls but for special occasions, I will delight in using these! One of the saucers arrived with a big chip and crack.  I notified them immediately and got a confirmation of my email back within minutes and within a few hours had been notified that a replacement item is being ship.  Rest assured, it was broken in the factory as they came shipped beautifully!  I was very impressed with the packing.  If one wanted to store them between usage, this round box lined in "silk" fabric would be perfect.
