 A very good deal September 30, 2008

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.
Portmeirion set is FANTASTIC! November 28, 2008

After reading reviews about the Portmeirion starter set, I was sold and purchased three sets! Thank you to everyone before me who helped me decide these dishes were worth purchasing. I absolutely love them and think of Amazon every time I look at them.

The dinnerware was beautiful. My husband and I have eaten off this and that for a long time, children in the home being main reason. Now we have decided to eat in style with our "almost" adult children. The dishes arrived in a huge box, wrapped in bubble wrap, inside of cardboard boxes, and had packing paper between the dishes. Needless to say nothing was broken. The price was also cheaper than any other site. I would recommend to anyone.Portmeirion Botanic Garden New Amazon Exclusive 20pc Starter Set. Service for 4.
A good bargain March 12, 2010

My wife has slowly collected Port Merion for several years, often getting peices at TJ Maxx at bargain prices. But this set was almost as good a buy, and being able to get full sets, not just odds and ends, was a real plus.
The product was very well wrapped and padded with paper and corrugate.
I was pleased, but more importantly, my wife was pleased.
Incredible Deal! March 11, 2009

This deal was beyond belief. You get a complete set for what you'd pay for 4 dishes on open stock. We now have a complete set for 8. At this price you should get two.
