Review of Square Salad Plate, Set of 4

I had need of a twelve-piece service, and found the Pinzon Country Crafts Florentina White Chargers and Salad Plates (the latter are square) for quite a wonderful price. The dishes are microwave, dishwasher, oven, freezer safe. They come packaged extremely well. One Charger was broken (and I am not quite sure how that happened, as the packaging is phenomenal), and Amazon replaced in a matter of days.

The color scheme I chose, Florentina White, goes with a number of other colors as well as styles.

These dishes can be used for casual dining - family dinner during the week; as well as for formal dining - company dinner, Holidays, etc.

My favorite thing about these dishes are that they are very heavy, sturdy, solid dishes.

These square salad plates are just the right size for a side salad, bread, or dessert.

I highly recommend both this set, and any set made by Pinzon.

Review of Pfaltzgraff Rio 14-Ounce Wide Rim Soup Bowl

great bowls, even-though I did find them for cheaper after I ordered them; also took forever shipping due to a mistake on senders end.

Review of Villeroy & Boch New Wave Pasta Plate

Really nice design from this company, a Luxenborg/German porcelain maker. I've never had a bad product from this line - it's all high quality, strong, interesting and useful. They have a complete line in this white idiosyncratic style that grows on you. I'm buying more.

Product Description

Review of Wallace Taos 77-Piece Stainless-Steel Flatware Set, Service for 12

We live in the southwest and I love the rustic look of the Taos flatware set.However, beyond the look there is not a lot of quality behind the design.The forks are what I dislike most because the ends of the tines are so thick and poorly crafted you can't stab a piece of lettuce to save your life.Also, the "stainless" part must be a thin veneer, since a couple of pieces have nicks through the outer layer (and keep in mind this is a new set) and that inner layer will lay a rust stain over the bottom of the sink in a short amount of time.All that said, I keep it for everyday use but wash it by hand.

Review of Royal Albert Old Country Roses Salad Plate

I ordered four of these plates and they arrived in a large box with four smaller boxes in it, containing one plate each.

I was a bit disappointed as one of the plate was made in Indonesia (the other three were made in England). You can tell the differences: the colors of the roses are less vibrant (especially the red color of the roses is darker and dull) and the gilding at the periphery seems to be of lessor, uneven quality. I did a blind test to my friend and that one plate was easily picked up among four as inferior. However, I must add that the one from Indonesia is still beautiful.

My initial impression of the other three plates are very positive. The colors are deliciously lively, and the glaze has delicate translucency.

As the Amazon description didn't say anything about the country of origin, and I bought it with the 4-for-3 promotion, which is an additional 25% discount on an already marked down price, I'm overall happy with the products. I just hope that the Indonesian plate, as well as the others, retains its initial beauty for long time.

The dynasty pattern is an expressive pattern that combines a Chinese dragon motif with a Greek key border.The vibrant color palate makes a statement on any table and delivers the classicism and formality that is the essence of Wedgwood.
