"Larger, More Beautiful than Expected"
I ordered this set and was stunned by its beauty and size when I received it. I did discover that the hand made oil bottle leaked. Novica handled the exchange without issue. I ordered another set for a relative at Christmas who also thought it was gorgeous. I will probably purchase additional sets for other friends and relatives.

"My friend loved it"
This was a Christmas gift for a dear friend. It looks good, and she is very pleased with it. All of the little dishes are removable, so people have many ways of using them and the main platter. The only caveat is that the bottom of the platter is a bit rough, so be careful not to slide it across a bare table.
