Tableware Reviews

I love every piece of BIA Ancien Crackle wear that I can get my hands on. BIA goods are quality all the way.

Not only do I use these for my Asian meals and sauces but they are a perfect size for condiments, nuts, chutneys, or other additions to the table.

I've always loved the celedon color for it's soft, yet classic appeal. Nice looking, mellow shade with a beautiful crackled finish adds texture and authenticity to the table. Great for mixing and matching with whitewear or other Asian motif tablewear.

I have plates coming to match these bowls and plan on making fresh spring rolls as soon as they arrive, to be served on the plates with bowls full of a homemade, spicy, Thai dipping sauce on the side. What could be better?

YUM! And....ooooooo...they're so pretty!

I had never owned a Wilton Armetale product before, but I was fortunate to win two of these small rectangular trays. I soon bought several more. I used them predominately as snack plates and lunch plates. They are absolutely beautiful. The Reggae design is exquisite. I can heat my food in the tray via the oven and then eat from the same plate/tray. They wash up well. I have used them as dessert plates when I have dinner parties as well, and interestingly, everyone who comes to my house chooses the dessert in the Wilton Armetale plate everytime.

I had to go to three target stores to complete my service for 12. I finally had the complete set,with serving bowls,meat platters,salt&pepper shakers, even had the pitcher on my kitchen table with silk sun flowers in it.It looked great!! Then we used the dinner plates. When I took them out of the dishwasher,they had knife marks all over them where we had cut our chicken.I had to return the whole set! Since this was originally a shower gift card purchase I was given a store credit.I still need dishes,but don't care for other sets they are selling.

I have tried many Target stores - and have had friends and relatives trying, also - to put together a service for 12 of this pattern (Floral Manor). I was just about to order 2 sets online when I stopped to read the other reviews, planning to return some of the extra open stock items I already purchased at Target stores. I do think the shipping cost is exhorbitant but what got me even more than that was the review that talked about the condition of the shipment when it was received. I will pass on ordering online and continue to search for the remaining 8 plates that I need to complete the service for 12(I have everything else!) and, if I don't find them very soon, will have to return the pieces I do have, which are still packaged pending my finding the plates. It is a beautiful pattern and I love it, but it's no good to me without the plates.

I have gone to 7 Target stores in the my area and I can not find the plates & bowls anywhere; in fact, I was lucky enough to get the mugs & salad plates two weeks ago because now they are not anywhere to be found either. I was told by a sales associate they have 5 truckloads of merchandise a week coming in - why not more of these dishes? I have been back to some of these stores two and three times. And on the web site you have to buy the whole set but its not available either - I am a devoted Target shopper and I have never seen anything like this - all the other displays have product to buy - what is up? I want these dishes. Please!

These are not easy to use and heavier than light wood chopsticks. Save your dough and go with laquer or wood. I don't like metal chopsticks much.
