Query: If only they would arrive in one piece!

These are really nice - substantial weight, classic design, functional. The white is a slightly blue-ish white - not at all creamy (if you've been looking at a lot of white dishes you'll appreciate the distinction). The problem is that the manufacturer or distributor doesn't pack them with enough care. I ordered two sets to try them out before putting them on my wedding registry. Both arrived with broken bowls. Then I ordered replacements and one of those arrived broken. So, after calculating that I'd have to field up to 32 boxes to get 8 intact place settings, I gave up. Fortunately Amazon is very good about returns for broken merchandise...
