This Service for 4 set is made in England and of excellent quality.The Service for 8 set made in Columbia is crap. Really.
Buy two of this service for 4 instead.
They're probably the best quality you can buy while still being dishwasher, microwave and freezer safe, in a pattern that's been in production since 1992 by Churchill. The author of the drab looking book "Microwave Cooking for One" has done a huge lot of work providing links to all the amazon dinnerware that is dishwasher safe in hopes of selling more copies of her book, including indexing *everying* Finlandia on amazon better than amazon has. Smart people will save time looking her up.
You'll have to decide if you want to risk the Columbia made teapot from amazon or go elsewhere for the real English deal.
If you're scarfing these up because of the price, search also for "Oneida service 12" --usually when these plates go on sale amazon also is running some very good deals on some really great quality flatware sets as well.
You also may be interested in Suzanne Von Drachenfels's book "The Art of the Table" (fun!) and Ruth L. Kern's DVD "Manners for the Table".
Product Description
Finlandia is one of the world's most enduring china patterns, this pattern has remained in production for over 100 years. Some of its appeal comes from its classic blue & white colouration, its Scandinavian inspired design never looks outdated. The swirling contours of the pieces add interest along with its floral design elements and together they project a great sense of symmetry & orderliness. This is a pattern that can be at ease for casual meals and charmingly fresh for more formal occasions.
