The set is packed so well nobody should ever have a broken piece. I'm impressed.

The dishes have imperfections, but I'm glad I got it. It will serve me well for some time. 

The cups are smaller than I would like. I realize they have to be sized to look in proportion to the teapot, but I may have passed on this set had I known they would look like a toy in my husband's hand.  

Cons: I'm getting service for twelve. I need more serving bowls.
