Portmeirion Botanic Garden Amazon Exclusive 20-Piece Starter Set, Service for 4 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is beautiful, tough, well-made china. It was actually made in Great Britain, and is by no means second quality stuff. The plates are rather deep with a rim of 3/4". The painting is crisp, and the patterns are centered on every dish (This seems to be a problem for other manufacturers to judge by the reviews.)
This set has the advantage of glasses (which I needed) rather than cups or mugs more commonly offered in sets (which I didn't need.) Portmeirion has apparently improved the highball glass quality since 2006; the glass thickness is now over 1/16" thick, and tempered. Earlier reviews had complained that the glasses were like eggshells.
It comes very well packaged in four nested boxes. However, one glass (out of eight) was chipped. Rather than send the whole set back to Amazon ($$), I called Portmeirion USA in CT, and they sent out a new glass within a week. Customer Service for Portmeirion was very nice. The set is common enough to get replacements and expansion pieces readily, too.
The hardest thing about this set is finding flatware to go with it, as I couldn't find any recommendations. I ended up pairing it with "Medina" by Villeroy & Boch. The table looks great now. I highly recommend this set.
