Title: very poor quality china
Product review: The order of Johnson Brothers Friendly Village 28-piece set I just received is on its way back to Amazon. The shipping box was so flimsy and had so little packing paper I am surprised it made it here at all. The box was giving way and ripped at the corner. The inner box wasn't in much better shape. It was on its side and the top was ripping. Three pieces were pretty well shattered since all were so poorly packed, only in cardboard with edges not protected and nothing sealed. I am amazed more weren't broken. That was bad enough, but the quality of the china was so very poor. I have some of this pattern from when it was made in England, and the difference in quality is striking. I have always loved Johnson Brothers china but will have to look for it in antique stores. These dishes are not worth buying at any price.Johnson Brothers Friendly Village 28-Piece Set with Square Accent Plates, Service for 4
