Review of Pfaltzgraff Filigree 16-Piece Dinnerware Set. Service for 4

I ordered two sets expecting the classic WHITE stoneware that I grew up with.What I got was NOT white - more a cream/beige color - with lousy quality control.What's supposed to be a tone-on-tone embossed pattern was brown on white on some pieces.I was really unimpressed and thought I got a bad batch from Amazon.So I sent it back and spent twice as much to order it from Pfaltzgraff.Once again, I got 4 boxes of the same 'crap' that I returned to Amazon.When I called Pfaltzgraff to ask what gives, a very helpful woman told me that Pfaltzgraff used to be made in the USA but now it's being manufactured entirely in China.She told me, essentially, that if I want the same stoneware I grew up with, I'm out of luck because everything is coming from China now and it just doesn't compare.Filigree was great 10-15 years ago but I'd personally steer clear now.I'm going back to the drawing board to see if I can find something comparable that hasn't sold American integrity to China!Pfaltzgraff just isn't the same anymore.This isn't what our mothers and grandmothers loved and trusted.
