Customer Review: Not up to my expectations
Summary: 3 Stars
Pfaltzgraff has been synonymous with quality in my life. When I saw the beautiful colors and muted pattern of these pieces I was very happy as they fit perfectly with my decor. Unfortunately I think they must be from Pfaltzgraff's "B" line as they are not up to the standards that I have known in Pfaltzgraff products before.
First I had trouble getting two complete sets from Amazon that weren't broken. I believe that they shipped me four boxes before I finally received 8 undamaged place settings. But true-to-form Amazon came through and replaced/had removed both of the damaged boxes.
The place settings were as much as I expected. The color was as it is represented on Amazon's site. Each piece was slightly different as I believe they are hand painted. Very nice.
It is now six months later. Three of the pieces have chips on their edges. They are never mishandled and go gently into my dishwasher. I am always careful that the items in my dishwasher are spaced not to knock against each other. This tells me that these plates are not made to stand normal handling. Secondly it is obvious that the glazing on different pieces is not of consistent quality. Some of the bowl and cup interiors are still shiny and their original color. Some of them, however, are dull and get stained easily. Although soaking them in a bleach solution (recommended by the manufacturer) does remove most of the stain, this is not something that I have the desire to do. Additionally one of the cups that has minimal glaze has fine cracks in the glazing on it's interior. Bleach and water no longer reach the stains that have developed there, so I hide this piece in the back of my cabinet and make sure that this cup does not make its way to visitors.
It would be normal to think that I should just replace this set. Unfortunately I will probably buy yet another 4 piece set and just go on, as I haven't found a set that that I like as much for my decor. Also I have purchased complementary pieces (some are from another collection by Pfaltzgraff, whose plates I don't like). If I get another set then I will have to replace these pieces as well, making it more financially advantageous to just buy the additional plates. I really need to contact Pfalzgraff, but as happens with most things, when you work it is hard to find the time to contact them during their business hours. I will do so however...maybe email?
At any rate, unless you are like me and this design fits you to a "T", and you are willing to replace your pieces regularly, I'd steer clear of this dinnerware set.
