    :)

    Mine arrived earlier but unfortunately 2 are broken :( They were well packaged & very surprised that 2 could have broken without the parcel being seriously manhandled :(
    I've emailed them photos of the broken pieces for them to use for claim against the courier :)

    No despatch e:mail yet either. However my order was (whisper as hubby just back from work) £87.00 and that incl p&p. I hadn;t noticed that free p&p on orders over £90 when placed order. Called them 2nd day of sale (last Thurs?) and asked could I amend my order. Man was very nice but said thay had over 4,000 online orders at that point in packing and it would be impossible to find my package as they were so busy. This may explain wait. Glad to know sets of six are varied. Wouldn't have minded but an added bonus. Great post.

    I got these last year and my first parcel was smashed to pieces, customer services very helpful, sent photo of box and broken plates. They sent a replacement set but of course by then a lot of the designs had gone. Have made another order this time round as I wanted bowls, just keeping fingers crossed they aren't broken. Annoying that they keep adding the sets as I had missed out on sets of bowls last week so ordered individual, now available as set again, when I asked if they could be added to order to save delivery it was not possible.

    Just to say, when I said completely random (you might not be referring to that, I know ;) ), I meant all sorts of combinations.

    My 8" plates were all the same, some 10" plates were all different, and most of the other sets were 4 of 1 and 2 of another or 2 the same and 4 different etc.

    Dont think any set of 6 were actually the same variety of patterns (if that makes any sense)......:o

    Personally I like a variety BUT the 8" plates are all the same and gorgeous and I am very pleased with them (when I thought I would be a wee bit disappointed if they were all the same).

    Fingers crossed that everyone likes what they receive!! :D

    At these prices, I couldnt get odds and sods cheaper in a charity shop!

    No dispatch email for me, ordered 3 sets of bowls first day of sale.
    But question to anyone who has them.
    Are the tankards much different from the cup and saucer sets for £14, in shape or size?
    They look pretty similar in the pictures, but I can see the Tankards are 10oz and the cups from the sets 9oz.These were out of stock when I ordered. That's not much of a difference, but don't want wide cups, just something similar to a normal coffee beaker.

    Can someone tell me the difference between 'bread plate' and 'bread plate romantic shape'

    Very tempted, missed out last year.
    TIA

    I wondered that too, but its academic now as only the Romantic shape is left in stock (though they do keep adding them back, they've done this twice now)

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Got my order today, lovely, lovely crockery. No breakages.

    One set of 6 plates are all the same, but the bowls and other plates are all mixed designs. For £10 - £12 for six is fab value, and doesn't matter if some of the plates are the same as the designs are so pretty.

    Some black marks on the crockery, at first I thought it was a design flaw, but it is just removable pencil marks that rubs off.

    The 13cm bowls are smaller than I thought they would be, but will be useful for nibbles.
    It is a good idea to be alone in a garden at dawn or dark so that all its shy presences may haunt you and possess you in a reverie of suspended thought.
