For sixty dollars per place setting you expect quality. I think I got what I expected. I found no flaws, was impressed by the quality of the gold and other 'old country roses' design features, and feel I've risen to a new level of civility!
A high quality place setting will do that for you. These are well made in indonesia, not england. Better made than my indonesian teak lawn furniture, which isn't too shoddy itself regarding quality.
You must feel you need this Royal Albert place setting, as well as the large selection of additional table pieces, or it won't mean anything to you. The pleasure you get from it is internal, in your own mind. It helps you to feel thoroughly middle class, not to put too fine a point on it.
And what's wrong with that? With all the dumbing down of culture as this century gets rolling toward that 'restaurant at the end of the universe,' why should we deny ourselves the pleasure of owning, maybe even using, this fine china.
Now that you have decided to get it, you need a china server! See my 'all my reviews' section for a review of an antique teak piece for an astonishing price.
Next, start thinking about all the other pieces, gravy boats etc., you will want to accumulate over the years to complete your set. Don't take out a second (or third) mortgage on the house to do it though!
