I just got my set today. One goblet is broken, but I knew that, and the price I paid reflected that defect. (Need to figure out if there is a glue I can find to seam it back together.)
Anyway, the set as a whole is lovely. I believe it is a newer set based on QNPoohBear's pictures and descriptions (the wicker table and chairs I also bought are marked "Made in China for Pleasant Company, but the daughter who was letting go of the stuff looked like she was only in high school, possibly freshman in college).
The glass is very sturdy, and I am surprised by how heavy the pieces are. It is very good for a dessert play scene, though I will probably still look for a set (have not decided whose yet) that has the more standard china-like plates and cups. The gold utensils remind me of my parents' set, which they received as a wedding gift.
For some reason I have four napkins. Not sure how this happened, but this is what the seller was giving as part of the set, so I didn't complain.
Overall, a great first dish set for me, and very happy. A
