Denby Imperial Blue 4-Piece Dinnerware Set - Elegant Stoneware Plates & Bowls for Fine Dining, Everyday Use & Entertaining

I bought the tea plate. I love it, wish I could get more!I bought this bowl as a treat to myself 3 or 4 years ago and the bowl is in the same perfect condition I got it in. It is a cooler cobalt than the picture, but still beautiful. I can throw in the microwave and dishwasher with no problem. It is a great bowl for portion-control as well if you are going for more meals in smaller portions. I've handled it roughly a few times on accident but not even a scratch! last but not least, it just feels great in my hands!This little mug is just so nice. Love the color, love the white interior. The best part is the way it feels in the hand. Some mugs are so heavy to begin with that adding coffee or tea just makes them unwieldy. This mug is light and well balanced so that holding it is comfortable. The rim of the cup is nice too. It is thin enough that sipping doesn't result in drips down the side.My daughter-in-law had looked for a creamer to match her dishes for some time, and then saw it on Amazon and put it on her Christmas list. I was late ordering it, so I was very pleasantly surprised when it arrived early on the 24th. It got its first use on Christmas when I made my traditional filet mignon roast with Stilton cheese sauce. I guess she still needs a gravy boat, but it was big enough for our needs.Confessing here, bought these as gifts and love them too much to give away! Am I a bad person? Dishwasher and microwave safe, think and beautiful color.Plate was packaged broken as the missing piece was not in box.Disappointing that No replacement plate is available.A beautiful, functional mug. In the picture its hard to see the beautiful brownish accent around base, top and handle. Denby makes many wonderful mugs but this one is special-my favorite.Great plate as described. Packaged safely and arrived promptly. Just what we needed to replace a broken one in our setOur household uses the complete set of Denby Imperial Blue, but often we find we run out of these bowls more quckly than anything else. They are so useful for breakfast cereal, soup or even main meals like stews and feel just the right size and weight. Not too heavy (like the rice bowls in this range) but substantial enough to feel reassuringly solid.Previously we had bought these at large department stores, but having noticed their appearance at a cheaper price on Amazon, it was a good time to stock up with some extra bowls. The existing ones have maintained their bright colour and match very well with the new ones brought from Amazon - these are an excellent investment and seem to last forever.I think these deserve a top recommendation for usefulness, quality and durability. I have noticed though, that some reviews here mention how well-packed the bowls were - personally I felt it was total overkill to give each bowl its own box inside a much large box, each filled with packaging material - a huge waste. But I am glad that the bowls were not chipped and this is a product review - hence my 5 stars are for this and not the wasteful packaging.
