This review is for box 2 of the service for 8. One salad plate arrived broken. Since the salad plates on both boxes are damaged. Manufacturer should take note and put more padding for the dishes between dishes. I like the design. Hope to receive the replacement soon and put them to use.

I received this product courtesy of @Influenster and @noritakechina in exchange for my honest review. I was so pleased when this package arrived from Noritake. This is a beautiful 12 piece set/service for four. The pattern is called Bloomington Road. It has multiple shades of blue hydrangea dogwood flowers that is absolutely stunning cascading around the edges of each dish. The china is a nice weight but not too heavy the size of the dishes; especially the bowls, are larger than I expected for china I am very pleased with that as I was expecting them to be much smaller! I also love that it is microwave dishwasher safe as these two things are very important to me in dish ware. Noritake has a large selection of china with some incredibly beautiful colors patterns. They have the lovely traditional patterns you expect but many of their designs actually surprised me as they were so modern beautiful!! Another really great option Noritake offers is they allow you to register your product they offer a replacement program as well! So if you break a piece of your set you’re able to replace it! Luckily for me they offer that since one of my pieces came in broken. It was packaged as well as it possibly could have been though. The Noritake box was packaged so tightly inside the shipping box that I had to take it out of the shipping box off camera as it was so snug! It was definitely not the fault of Noritake that the one salad plates was broken~that happened because of rough shipping without a doubt. If you’re interested in learning more about the origins of China how it is made Noritake has a very interesting section on their website explaining the whole process!! So if you are interested in purchasing some beautiful, high quality China then I highly recommend you pop over to www.noritakechina.com

The design is gorgeous, they can be used for every day or a nice semiformal meal and I love the size of the cereal bowls. I can’t wait to set my table for Easter with these beautiful dishes.

I absolutely love my new Noritake Bloomington Road dinnerware set! Not only is the design beautiful, but the quality is fabulous. They are very durable, and microwave and dishwasher safe. I love the design of the bowls. They are perfect, as they are quite deep, and stack very well in my cabinet. I liked this set so much, I even ordered the matching coffee mugs.

The pattern on the Bloomington road Dinner Ware set is so beautiful. It is versatile while remaining fancy enough for a dinner service party for 4.

The dishes are beautiful with a farmhouse look to them. The plates and bowls are a medium weight that does not feel as durable as I had expected. The dishes were a standard size. The set included dinner plates, cake size plates, and deep round bowls. The packaging was double boxed with this cardboard between the dishes that were wrapped in tissue paper. Although there was this style packaging, one of the small plates still arrived broken as seen in the picture.

I couldn't wait to receive this Influenster and was so excited when it was delivered today. I love the flowers and different shades of blue, so much I'm redecorating my kitchen to match and proudly display them. I immediately said it would've been perfect if it included the matching cups. Sadly, I did receive a couple of broken pieces and hopefully can be replaced. Overall I love this Set!!

Inadequate packaging

We love the dishes, but they arrived with four plates broken out of a set of 12 place settings.
