Maxwell & Williams DV0032 White Basics Diamonds 16 Piece Dinner Set in Gift Box, Porcelain, White

Lovely slightly cream coloured dinner set. The pieces were packed well within cardboard boxes, not one piece was broken or chipped. I have since ordered another set. The diamond pattern is stylish and classy for an everyday set. So far, the dishwasher cleans the pieces well without leaving any marks. Would definitely recommend.

Our children have been nagging us for ages to replace our old Denby (Colonial Blue which is sadly discontinued) dinner service. We’d had it for going on thirty years and we’d lost bits over that period. We originally had eight of everything but we were averaging six or less!We had been given some Amazon Christmas gift vouchers, so we decided we would finally bow to the pressure and acquire some new crockery. We worked on the principle that plain white would be easier to mix and match, and that the dimpled pattern on this China was more attractive than something that was completely plain. We did lots of research and went for this set. We decided against the set with the mugs as we have a cupboard full of them!We ordered two sets of four. Everything arrived well packaged and mercifully in one piece - no breakages or returns! We do struggle with getting the dinner plates in the dishwasher as they are slightly larger than our old Denby but we can manage (and we probably load less in the machine so maybe the dishes are cleaner!). I have to point out that the crockery is not bright white - it’s a slightly creamier colour, but no less attractive.Overall I would recommend this - and the fact that you can buy individual items is very useful (don’t ask!!)

More like fine stoneware,offwhite. I bought three sets, all had broken pieces, not packed properly inside the box, looks like they had been undone people had put the pieces back improperly so they were tight which caused some of the crockery to break in pieces.

Got this at a very good price. The set is just what I wanted - white with an embossed pattern to add some interest and seems to be of good quality. However - it would be nice to have the plate/bowl dimensions in the product description so it makes it easier to buy additional items. Just a general thing - I wonder why dinner sets are for four people, when it's more usual to have 6 or 8 settings?

Great purchase stunning quality such value for money would highly recommend

They are lovely... sadly the set arrived broken so it has been sent back so no sturdy whatsoever.. sadly

The set is nice. However, the packaging is not suitable for online deliveries. Ordered three sets and two of them arrived completely smashed. Had glass pieces all over the floor when open the boxes. Promptly replaced by Amazon, but now I have to deal with the return of broken sets, which is an issue if you live in a city and rely on a public transportation to get into the post office. The sets are quite heavy.

We already have 12 plates, side plates, bowls and mugs in this range (bought from Costco 5 or 6 years ago). Wanted to future proof our set, so bought this set 12 peice set when it was on offer. One thing about this set I love is the bowls, they are a good size for a hearty bowl of cereal or for pasta, stews etc. The bowls are used for so much in our home.
