Lenox Butterfly Meadow 18-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service

<h2>Product Description</h2>


 

        Review
 
  Emblazoned with a sweet butterfly and wildflower motif, this summery dinnerware pattern is versatile enough to serve everyday meals or stand in for special occasion dining. Perfect for an average family, this set packs six 10-3/4-inch dinner plates, six 9-inch salad plates, and six 12-ounce mugs. Made of fine china, the dinnerware has a beautiful reflective quality to its ivory base color yet is surprisingly durable enough to go from the freezer to the oven to the table without damaging and is also safe for the microwave and dishwasher.<p> Based on designs from Lenox artist Louise de Luyer, Butterfly Meadow's dinnerware set mixes and matches a variety of meadow scenes, each featuring a species of butterfly with a different bloom. Among the pictured butterfly varieties, there are colorful Swallowtails, Monarchs, Eastern-Tailed Blues, Orange Sulphers, and even a dragonfly here and there. Avid gardeners will also be able to spot favorite flowers, which range from morning glories to lilacs to tiger lilies. Each scene is a bit different from the next, adding to the charm of this country-style dinnerware. Graceful scalloped and ridged edges on plates and mugs lend an additional feeling of innocence to this pattern. This dinnerware set matches other crystal, flatware, and serving pieces in fine china and sculpted metal within Lenox's Butterfly Meadow collection. --Cristina Vaamonde<p><b>What's in the Box</b>6 dinnerware place settings. Each place setting consists of: dinner plate, salad plate, mug. 18 pieces total.

I love this whimsical pattern--the reason I gave this item five stars. 
<br/>
<br/>I bought this set for my mother-in-law. She will not use the mugs--they sit in her china hutch. She does not like the scalloped edge around the top of the mug--she says the scallops make drinking from them more *difficult* and less *comfortable*.  She also does not like the narrow bottom on the mug.  She feels they are top heavy and more prone to tipping/spilling.
<br/>
<br/>Before buying the whole set, purchasing one mug seperately for a home trial may be warranted if there is any chance that the scalloped drinking edge or narrow base on the mug may pose a problem for you.
