We sent this to my partner's son and daughter-in-law who have moved into their first home just before Christmas. It doubled as a Christmas/house warming gift. They cook and eat at home a lot and love the set, which they are already using. They have heard about Denby before but never owned a Denby. They told us they are thrilled to have such good quality crockery. This has replaced the random collection of crockery they bought out of necessity over the years. The set is for four people and they needed it for five, so we added five matching azure mugs and one of each of the other items so they can have a full five-person set. They know this will last many years and we told them they can add additional items as they go." - Abigail
