The Royal Albert PEACE candy dishes arrived safe and sound. The packaging was great; the enclosed stuffing will make great fire starter bases.
I appreciated the enclosed note, it is a nice customer service aspect you don't see much anymore.
Hope you have a wonderful holiday season.

Thanks so much for the care and time spend to ensure my teapot was packaged up so well. I can’t wait to try a cup of tea out of it.
The 8 piece set I have is over 60 yrs old and has been eaten off of twice. My mom could never find this Teapot to complete her set. Thanks so much!!

The box with beautiful vintage Webb Corbett crystal arrived in perfect shape yesterday and I am very pleased.
A super packing job done by you -- the box could be dropped from the Space Needle and nothing would break!
I wish I could leave a 100% perfect rating someplace for you. You deserve it. I hope we can do business again.

The port glasses arrived in this mornings post. They are perfect! Thanks very much.
AmberFri, May 15, 2020, 12:07 PM
I just wanted to let you know that everything arrived safely and that I love this set so much. I actually already had the creamer and tea set from a thrift-store find years ago, and have had an eye out for matching pieces for a while. I love the Bauhaus lines of these lovely pieces!
I also really appreciate how well-packaged everything was, AND that you used tape that's thick enough to peel off without damaging the wrap. It will be re-used on this end as well!
Anyway, thanks so much for your attentive sale, and I will be sure to keep an eye on your lovely store.
SharonTue, Sep 29, 2020, 5:38 PM

I gave this company a try because I found the Royal Albert Lavender Rose Creamer and Sugar Bowl I desired on their website as I browsed the internet.
I was overjoyed to received it in truly mint condition. The seller was very responsive to my inquiries and has beautiful products, many of them not posted. I surprisingly I received a perfect spare matching saucer as a gift.
I write this review not because of the gift, but because my order received was exactly as described and pictured and I received it much sooner than expected. I would definitely buy from this seller again and highly recommend them.
