Spode Blue Italian Sandwich Tray

Beautiful but a little small
Got this for my sister-in-law from her wish list. It looked a little small to me but she loved it. Check the dimensions for yourself before you order. I was expecting a functional tray.

Should list country of orgin.
Buyer beware. Although this tray is quite nice. It is made in China, not England. I have many spode pieces, and all are from England.

Beautiful Tray
I gave it for Christmas to my mother, who absolutely loved it. It is smaller than I expected, but that's really only my fault as it says right in the product description that it's 13" long.

Not having used it, I cannot speak of its utility. It is really nice to look at either way.

Lenox Butterfly Meadow Bone Porcelain Round Covered Casserole

Large Elegant Casserole or Soup Tureen
This Lenox piece holds an extremely large quantity of soup or casserole. It is microwave and oven proof to 350 degrees, so you can cook and serve in the same beautiful casserole/soup tureen. Handles are sturdy, but short, so they are hard to grip with a cloth pot holder, but easy to grip with bare hands. Because of this feature, you may decide to use this as a serving dish only. Good for a large group rather than due to large capacity. We are a family of 2, so we would prefer a smaller casserole from Lenox.

Good quality, pretty, a bit smaller then I expected
This casserole is very pretty. It has two different pictures on its 2 side (the photo is just showing one of them). It's very detailed and pretty. However, it's smaller than what I expected so be sure to check the size because you buy it. The cover is also very detailed and pretty. Made in Indonesia. I recommend it.

Lenox Butterfly Meadow Bone Porcelain Dinnerware Covered Casserole Dish
Purchased as a gift for my sister who had a large set of this pattern which she loves (all pieces ovenproof and dishwasherproof!) I noticed she didn't have a covered vegetable dish and asked her if they weren't available and she said they were just too expensive. So I was thrilled to find one on Amazon for half the price she expected to pay!

I was looking for a couple of more plates to complete my set. Two plates were available on Amazon at a very good price. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Dansk Variation V 5-Piece Place Setting, Service for 1

A new generation of Variation V
I've had Dansk Variation V for 35 years, including pieces manufactured in Denmark, Finland, Japan, Korea, and China. There are slight but real differences in the shapes of each utensil type (spoon, fork, etc) from country to country of manufacture. These latest sets are made in China; the polish is higher, and the molds are clearly different. If you have acquired this pattern in recent years you may not notice; if you have originals, you will. It's a bit too soon to tell how well these pieces will "age" (stand up to the dishwasher, etc). Otherwise, they blend in with the older pieces except when lined up with like items (ie, spoons, forks, etc). For the price, these are a great value.

Dansk Variation V flatware
I ordered some individual pieces recently to add to my set which I have had since 1970. Actually, I only needed the teaspoons. Well, I returned the teaspoons and kept the rest. The forks are a different shape and the knives had spots after one washing but I decided to keep them anyway. The stainless is not up to the original standards of manufacturer. My biggest disappointment was the size of the teaspoons. They were much smaller. And the teaspoon is already on the smallish side. They are manufactured in China and I was truly not satisfied.

Chinese-made Dansk not up to Dansk Standards
Upon close observation and after a week of casual use, I am very disappointed with the current production of Dansk Variation V silverware. For one, the Chinese-made versions no longer match the style of the previous 40+ years of production for this model. It is similar, but too different to add to an existing set of older, superbly-crafted Variation V silverware. As for quality/finish, the inside edges of the fork blades are not polished and food particles cling to those roughly-milled inside edges. It's too bad that company's worldwide throw away their quality standards in pursuit of cheap, Chinese labor. I think I'm being generous to give this product 2 stars.

Royal Worcester Evesham Gold Porcelain Teapot and Cover

Teapot
When we broke the lid on our Royal Evesham teapot which we hand selected in England, we immediately looked on Amazon. Lo and behold, Amazon had the teapot we wanted and at a less expensive price then we had paid in England. When the pot arrived, it was well packed to prevent damage. We are delighted with this product.
