Johnson Brothers Friendly Village 20-Piece Dinnerware Set - Colorful Stoneware Plates, Bowls & Mugs for Family Dining, Holiday Entertaining & Everyday Use

Color not consistent but very pretty dishesBeautiful set of dishes, Great for everyday use or for Thanksgiving and Christmas meals!Arrived in one over and was exactly what I ordered.Although the first set arrived in shards of broken crockery, despite the manufacturer's designed packaging, the second set arrived intact and it is just beautiful. These are made from substantial, thick ceramic that is a little on the heavy side. The colors are pretty. The design is sharp. It is reminiscent of a small country village. Very nice for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I already had a set of the place-settings and intend to buy more. I love using these during the cold weather months. I just wish that the tea pot and other items were available NEW. Apparently, they're not making them at the time I write this, so it is important to keep in mind that this "completer set" does not actually COMPLETE the collection, in my mind. I am hoping that the tea pot and creamer and sugar bowl become available soon. In any case, I recommend this pattern highly. I DO think it is too pricey for what it is, but I am willing to pay it, nonetheless.As describedMy dishes arrived today and I am so happy with them!! The packaging was fantastic, not one broken dish. All of the dishes have consistent colors; brown with nice light blues, greens, yellows and pinks. The transfers line up nicely. The quality of each piece is 5 star. While these may now be made in China and not the “originals”, they are still very beautiful and perfect for display and durable enough for everyday use. I have wanted these dishes for over 10 years, so glad I splurged and bought two 20 piece sets! These will be my fall/winter dishes and my sets of Johnson Brothers Old Britain Castles will be for spring/summer. Buy them, you won’t be disappointed!!Myself and now gift for my daughterThey let me know they had more pieces!!
