Let me first start by saying this dinnerware set is beautiful 5 stars for that. I am not going to take away a star because one bowl was broken. As you can see from the pictures this set was very well packaged. However accidents can still happen during shipping. There was also a gray powder on the plates but of course they will be washed before being used anyway. I won’t let those issues take away from my review of the actual product and I love this set. I am hoping that Wayfair will be able to send a replacement of the single broken bowl though. I would still highly recommend this set.. Kim. Jacksonville, FL. Thu Sep 10 2026
