My pieces are in PERFECT condition. They have been used maybe three times. There is not a knick or scratch on ANY single piece. They are beautiful but as I have never been able to acquire more than five, I am letting them go. This price is firm. I am not desperate to get rid of them. I will continue to try to sell them elsewhere if no one on the list serve is interested. I haven't seen an asking price for one set for less than $400 and my price breaks down to $275 a piece. I will not sell any less than all five settings. I am including a link to a photo album of all of the items I am currently selling that includes many photos of the set in case the Amazon site is not enough to visualize them. They are very beautiful, and I do hope that they find a good home. I will wrap them safely and box them after a buyer comes to inspect them and makes the decision to buy them.
