Johnson Brothers Friendly Village 20-Piece Dinnerware Set, Multicolor, 10.5

My dishes arrived today and I am so happy with them!! The packaging was fantastic, not one broken dish. All of the dishes have consistent colors; brown with nice light blues, greens, yellows and pinks. The transfers line up nicely. The quality of each piece is 5 star. While these may now be made in China and not the “originals”, they are still very beautiful and perfect for display and durable enough for everyday use. I have wanted these dishes for over 10 years, so glad I splurged and bought two 20 piece sets! These will be my fall/winter dishes and my sets of Johnson Brothers Old Britain Castles will be for spring/summer. Buy them, you won’t be disappointed!!

I bought this set to supplement the 8 piece settings I already had. They were packed very well, and arrived with no broken dishes and no chips. They were packed so well I had to unpack them systematically to get them out. The finish on them is perfect, no bubbles. And even though they say microwave safe on the back, they do not specifically say made in China. The only thing different about the soup bowl from the one made years ago is the extended handle on the older bowls. But that was changed years ago. The original set I have dates back before the 1970's.

This is a pattern I have always wanted but never purchased then one day I decided to just do it. So I ordered a service for twelve with all the serving pieces. I think the only complaint that I have read is that the color is muted in some of the pieces but since I didn't have this growing up I can't make the comparison. The winter "snowing" dinner plates are just a slight bit less color than the rest of the pieces but I don't care, I love them anyway. I just ordered some other dinner plates that are different seasons, not just winter, so I can use the snowing dinner plate for fall and winter and the other plates that reflect other seasons all year. Kind of nice that I don't have to save them for Christmas.

The China itself is absolutely beautiful; however, in the shipping, my first plate was broken, and I had to throw it away. It was probably due to UPS or Fed Ex throwing it around.

Great delivery time. Dish set is ok. I purchased a service for 4 last year at Macys. And this year I wanted to serve with them for thanksgiving so I decided to purchase another set from Amazon. And there is a difference between the too. Macy's dishes have better color and they're all the same size Amazon set is dulled color and the bowls and saucers are different sizes. But overall I'm happy. And nothing was broken.

My daughter loves these as her gift!! But just be prepared, a few of them did arrive broken .

I got a set of these at my wedding shower back in 1970. Only had two plates, two saucers, two platters left so I ordered a set of these to make my set complete again. Unfortunately, these are kind of a knock off of the original, the plates are smaller than my original ones. My original ones had a different scene on each plate. The scenes are repeated on the plates that I ordered today. The bowls, the smaller plates are all smaller than the original ones. I had. They’re still very pretty and well-made, but not the same as what I originally had.

This timeless pattern has been well produced and looks elegant for holiday tables capes. Great customer service and quality of China.
