Review on Gibson Overseas 98771 16RM Dinnerware Stoneware: Exquisite Tableware for Elegant Dining by John Pound

In response to other reviews, such as My: it came in the original packaging from a manufacturer in China. Nothing cracked, but the packaging was just cardboard. Everything survived the dishwasher without damage. I ordered blue. The color is definitely more like the lighter second shot than the darker blue of the first. The painting on the edges goes from black to blue looks like it was done from a school art class Small bubbles and other glaze defects But what do you expect for $60 It sounds strange but every detail seems fragile I get very careful with it be.
