Title: Now Made In China, and Inferior
Review: I had the EXACT same experience as the previous reviewers. I purchased this beautiful, and not cheap, flatware in the late 1980's. I loved it. After years of "kids", many pieces had "walked away" so I ordered some replacements. The difference in quality was truly stunning. This was the first time I really began to understand that the flight to Chinese manufacturing (read: cheaper manufacturing costs), was also a flight to inferior products. The spoons were not rounded on the edges; they were flat and sharp. The luster was not there, the weight was lighter, and overall the flatware had a "cheap" look to it when compared to the original. Honestly, you should get what you pay for. I replaced it all with Ricci and have not been disappointed. Caveat Emptor - buyer beware.
