Excellent qualityThe carafe holds one liter, which is barely enough wine for two people, but it is heavy and shows quality workmanship, more so than the commercial Italian glass sold at discount stores and outlets. The etched Italian Air Force logo makes it especially interesting. The oil and vinegar set is high quality and includes a rugged holder which is nickel steel and all-glass stoppers which may or may not be airtight, but have no rubber or plastic seals which will degrade over time. The salt and pepper shakers are better than any you'll find at a department store. I am 100% satisfied with this purchase.

Nice setAll items were nicely packaged in delivered box. The wine decanter had clear insignia etched in glass but slightly cloudy(hard water stain) interior. Added some finish power up and water then shook vigorously. Cleared it up. The rest of set in excellent shape. Paid full price but worth it. Thxs.

ExcellentWe just finished remodeling our kitchen with a nod to British designer Christopher Peacock, who my wife uses as a springboard of ideas, and this set fits in perfectly with everything. Its chrome, glass and with a bit of Italian modernistic flair thrown in, so it was made to order. We are also big wine people so the wine decanter, with its Italian Air Force insigna, was cool. A glass of Barolo, anyone? And the price of $15 for everything was the best part.

Top NotchI got this as a birthday gift for my wife. She loved the whole set. It was in very good shape for a used item. I guess the Italians revere food and wine so much they treated these items with respect. Would order any others items like this that become available.
