Gorgeous, solid set of classic dishes.
This is a set of high quality dishes which are very sturdy and timeless in design. The color is a distinctive greenish, muddy turquoise. The glaze has a translucent layering effect with a subtle variation of color. Like looking into a green eye - or a deep pool of water -- you will discern there are also flecks of blue, brown and amber. Its really aesthetically pleasing -- much nicer than can be captured in a photo. Great Offer Stock offers an unbeatable price for the basic starter set -- which costs about half of what a 16-piece set would cost on the Denby site or anywhere else. Regency Green is a popular color/pattern which has been produced by Denby for many years, so you can find lots of different bowl shapes and sizes and serving pieces to add your collection. So don't fret that Great Offer Stock doesn't offer serving pieces to match. Check out the Denby US site as well and watch for sales and also eBay in both the US and UK. Amazon UK also has some pieces that can't be found in the US anymore. I ordered three sets from Great Offer Stock, and unfortunately in one set three plates were broken in shipment. Great Offer Stock customer care sent out a replacement set right away -- but be aware, if even only one dish breaks, they will have you send the entire 16-piece set back and a new set will be sent to replace it. This is the way Denby packages these for sale through Great Offer Stock -- only as a complete 16-piece sets, not as individual pieces. I am very pleased with this purchase and the follow through of Great Offer Stock customer care.
