I am an interior and exterior designer as well as a caterer. I purchased this item (Garden Tea Cup and Saucer) along with several other items I use for the meals I prepare and cater. These dishes are awesome. The are elegant and feel like fine china. The are all reasonably priced and the owner Rachel is awesome. A few of the many dishes I ordered came broken but Rachel was gracious and sent a replacement right away....in time for the event I was catering.
