Porlien Exquisite Bone China 17-piece Tea Set for 6, Porcelain Tea Set with Teapot, Red Pattern Trimmed with Gold

love the set. It came package so nicely. I did not see any black dirt marks. They only needed a quick rinse. Any product you but to drink or eat out of should be washed anyway. It comes in a satin gold large line box. Each piece is inserted into its own space which prevents breakage and nice enough to use it as storage for the set. I do not have mine on display. The set is very pretty and I use it to have tea parties with my grandchildren. They love using an adult size tea set. Very reasonable price for what you get its a great bargain.

I enjoy Tea Parties. My husband gifted me with this set. I used it at our family Christmas Tea this year. My theme colors were gold and red. The tea set blended in perfectly with the Christmas table scape. I particular like the square handles, it gives the set such a refined look. It came packed well and best of all, nothing broken. I look forward to using the set for many different occasions.

Really exquisite design and pattern however, the quality is somewhat average, matching the price i guess. The set came in a box with the golden lining but all items were covered in a strange film of sticky dirt, I had to wash them all to restore the shine. All clean and shiny they looked amazing but then i noticed that the saucers were all of various thickness, visibly different to say the least. The pattern is not evenly painted on the sugar bowl and the foot of two cups was unevenly rough. I bought it as a house warming present but I am uncertain now. It will look amazing on a display but if you want to serve tea to the VIP guests, I suggest you look somewhere else.

I love tea and a girl friend said we should have an old fashioned tea party with cards and all so I bought this and many varieties of teas to enjoy and we’ve done this many times ,with the limitations of course,but it’s been a pleasant and relaxing mind cleanse.

excellent item worth buying

I purchased this tea set as a present for my daughter who moves frequently. It was advertised as having a red storage container and some of the prior reviews showed a lovely container with cloth to store the tea set. I did not receive the red storage container (as advertised). Very disappointed.

I used this for an annual Tea at church for my granddaughter, since I don’t have those keepsakes for her to use, these worked very well. And look great.

I love this set, however I gave it 2 stars because one of the saucers has a small chip... I was so excited to receive this today, but this chip kind of takes some of that away. It's small, and almost unnoticeable, but I don't want my set to have any chips. I would like the seller to send me a replacement but I don't want to have to send the entire set back. I'll try to contact the seller and update the review if I get a good response. All the other details about this set are spot on. The handpainted details are beautiful, the design meets my expectations and was exactly what was advertised. Aside from the chip, it is almost perfect.
