While crafted from high-quality porcelain, this set is not chip-resistant and requires careful handling. It is best suited for special occasions or formal dining rather than heavy, everyday use.
The Barrymore pattern is not lead-free. Because it was produced prior to modern safety standards for dinnerware, it should be used for decorative purposes or occasional dining rather than daily food service.
