Bowls cannot be used for anything like tomato soup, add to it capsicum, blueberries, so what's the point of having them, dishwasher does not clean coffee or tea stain without manual scrabing.

After many years of service, decided to replace “White basics” dinner service. Opted for the cashmere range as I was told it’s better quality and will last longer. After 2 months the glaze has worn of at least half of the plates and knife marks can be seen on most of the dinner plates. Wanted to return the whole lot, but the shop will only replace the damaged ones (as I bought them individually). Waste of money. Going back to trusty White Basics.

I have gone through 2 lots, returned the first after the glaze on the dinner plates basically disappeared after 2 months... tried another lot wondering if it was a bad batch exactly the same after only a month. The shop assistants can't believe they say they've never had any returned, either they're not being truthful or people just don't bother to return an inferior product. Don't get me wrong, the staff were awesome and could definitely see the problem and had no issues refunding.

Suddenly I don't feel so alone. Bought Cashmere 12 place setting (not cheap) and glaze has vanished leaving horrid marks on the china. Particularly bad in cups and bowls. On top of that, I have only 4 cups and bowls left - wonder why? Took photos as sad reminder of money down the drain. Wrote to M&W, waiting for reply.

We bought two of the cashmere fine china dinner sets approximately 2 years ago. Looks like we have the same problem as others. Bad crazing on plates and bowls . The product is really bad and I'm not surprised they haven't had a product recall as I think it's warranted. Never again would I buy them and certainly steer others clear of their products.

I really like the design of this dinner set. I don't know if it's just me but I find the plates with the flat bottom so easy to eat from and the little lip helps with run away peas etc. The bowl shape is also nice and fits more than it looks like it should so is great for curries etc.

Cashmere double dinnerset has completely deglazed on certain plates and bowls, pattern has all but disappeared. I too have had recurring lip irritation which GP initially thought was skin cancer! Chuck this stuff out! What a waste of hundreds of $$$

I was washing a plate from their Kimono range which snapped in my hand and sliced down into my thumb joint which needed medical treatment. Proper sensation has still not returned after six months. I noticed some plates look like they've had cracks and have been repaired. Tonight i have discovered another bowl that is still together but has a huge crack. Very dangerous. If this was as an elderly person with thin skin i believe the injury would have been much worse.

This is the second Maxwell Williams dinner service I have bought, and I decided to buy the more expensive Cashmere range, I had the basic range previously. After just a few months I have stains and streaks on most of my plates.
I will return these to Myer, but not sure what to buy that is better quality? Any suggestions??
Thanks

Great dishes. Light weight and strong. Very happy with the quality and will buy them again. Wash up perfectly and slim line . Great item highly recommended for everyday use

I bought two dinner sets 3 years ago. Sadly the glaze is very cracked on at least half of the set.. I'm unwilling to replace the pieces with more MW/Cashmere and feel like I need to start again! Very disappointing.

I bought two M&W Charming dinner sets as well as a few extra pieces...eight each of noodle bowls, sweet dishes and entree plates. I am a bit disappointed that the entree plates are noticeably a different colour.

I am also disappointed that I couldn't get extra entree and sweet plates to make 12 settings...I didn't think they'd be discontinued so quickly.

My product is standing the test of time...to date: two breaks, one chip, no scratches, no crazing...I got it November 2015.

Purchased M W Casmere Miami Beach for beach house. In spite of occasional use glaze quality dreadful. Grey knife marks and grey marks on outside of bowl. Not fit for purpose.

I too had a variety of Maxwell and Williams basics that were old and worn.

So I just purchased two "Maxwell & Williams Cashmere Classic 16 Piece Coupe Dinner Set" sets and 8 entree plates. One bowl broken on delivery, being replaced now. Other than that they look great. Based on other reviews here, I will watch their condition over a couple of weeks and I will take photos to track their condition. At the moment I am very happy, they look lovely.

My White cashmere china has what looks like grey cutlery markings on dinner & bread & butter plates . I do not have any cups/ mugs - fortunately!! Very unsatisfactory product.

I must be the only one who loves this dinner set,I purchased mine about 8 years ago and it is still shiny,all in tact even after a few bangs and looks brand new,Maybe the quality has changed since then?But i am very happy with my set

Maxwell white classic dinner sets are pathetic, my children gave me 2 four piece setting for Mother's Day last year and now they have chips on nearly every second item as my children are adults there is no reason for the chips and I am very disappointed.
