Not quite like the ones I purchased 20 years ago

Let me say first that I'm very grateful to have the 5 additional Arctic White dinner plates. The reasons I didn't feel I could give more stars are that it took 6 months for my order to be filled and the plates are much thicker and the pattern isn't as distinct in the plates. The detail just doesn't show up. Somehow the quality control just wasn't there. I've ordered from this company before and even though I'm in the US, it's less expensive to order from the factory and pay duty from England than to buy on Replacements Ltd. which is in the US. The plates were packed well and there was nothing broken.
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry this order took longer than first expected to come in to us from Noritake in Japan. Unfortunately the situation at the moment has caused some delays.
There can be slight differences if a pattern is made over a long period of time, this can be down to different manufacturing techniques.
Noritake Arctic White Dinner Plate
The plates took over six months to arrive. I was sent emails every few months to advise that the order is still to come. The plates are much thicker and the detail on them isn't as distinct as the ones I purchased 20 years ago. The pattern details get lost and they look more like white plates with barely a n indented band. They were packed well and nothing got broken in shipping.
