How many sizes of the Art Deco Crystal Vases were made? I have found 11 3/4″, 8″ or 8.25″ they advertise, 5.5 – 6″ tall. Are there more sizes in the vase? Is there a bowl? Thank You for your time.
I purchased the Siena set from macys in pasadena. Overall, the china is good
except for the mugs. Several are chipped on the edge, and a craclle look is on the bottom. I use the china solely for myself and occasional guests. I put in the dishwasher along with other china. I’m very diasppointed that almost all the mugs have a slight chipped edge to them. no, they didn’t come that way but after using noritake casual china for over 20 years did not expect that new china would deteriorate so quickly. the plates are fine,just the mugs.
