I loved it instantly! It was so carefully packaged and has such incredible styling. This set is light, almost weightless; porcelain surface is that fine, that it gave me an impression of touching and holding something of historical value. the shape of a cup is very natural ( i do not know a better word to describe that harmony which it creates around just having some tea!). The packaging was very protective and sturdy. Very, very nice quality teacup! Also, the details are even nicer in person.
