Amazon.com Review Pure Platinum from Royal Doulton sets a classy table for such commemorative events as anniversaries and bridal showers. Simply shaped, the glossy white porcelain is banded with not one but two broad bands of gleaming platinum, the outer band slightly wider than the inner. With no other patterning or details, the dinnerware is effortlessly accessorized with table linens of any color or design, and fine crystal stemware, suiting either a contemporary or traditional decor.
Just about everything needed to fully set a table for eight is included in this 45-piece set. The set includes eight of each of the following: dinner plate, salad plate, bread-and-butter plate, teacup, and saucer, as well as an oval platter, round vegetable bowl, covered sugar bowl, and a creamer. While not suitable for use in the microwave or oven, the china is dishwasher-safe on a low heat setting, which certainly saves time on clean-up. Other serving pieces are available to further enhance this pattern. --Ann Bieri

Customer Reviews:
Royal Doulton ChinaNovember 2, 2008 A beautiful set of China at a wonderful price! Gift recipient loves it and relates that it arrived 100% intact, with no damage incurred in shipping!
Everyday use - Fine; not for formal settingOctober 15, 2008 This is a nice set by Royal Doulton for the price you pay. The absence of soup bowls retards it from being used as a formal place setting (unless you never plan on serving a soup course).
The appearance and quality is good. The only drawback I have found is the inconsistency of the plates when stacked. Otherwise, your guests would never know that they are misformed.
The lid for the sugar bowl does not fit properly and looks cheap - although that may merely be with the set I received.
