Review of Lenox Butler's Pantry Earthenware Salt and Pepper Shakers

I received a set of these shakers for Christmas.Being a big collector or Butler's Pantry, I absolutely LOVED them.They are VERY LARGE, but coordinate VERY WELL with many of the oversized Butler's Pantry serving pieces I use.I decided I wanted a second set.In order to "save money" I tried buying a set that was advertised "NEW (WITHOUT BOX) DIRECTLY FROM THE FACTORY IN ITALY" from eBay.The quality difference was UNBELIEVABLE.The shakers were OBVIOUSLY second-quality.Lenox would have NEVER allowed the shakers I purchased to be sold in Lenox packaging.The holes were three times as large as the set I received for Christmas (WAY TOO LARGE); the tops of the shakers were dimpled; the detailing was very imperfect; the shakers appeared almost pure white rather than white and cream two-tone; the bottoms of the shakers were very rough and could have easily scratched a table; and, finally, the pepper shaker was so uneven it actually ROCKED on a flat surface.The seller was angered that I was not happy with the shakers and the transaction is still not resolved.In the meantime, I ordered another set from Amazon.The shakers arrived in traditional Lenox packaging and were just a perfect as the set I received for Christmas.THE MORAL TO THE STORY?Buy from a Lenox retailer in Lenox packaging.You WON'T be disappointed!
