The parcel arrived promptly. It was an encouragingly large box which refused to rattle when gently shaken - always a good sign. The cup and saucer were very securely packed and, when unwrapped, proved... See more

Samuel Alcock "melted snow" teaware purchase

I received in very short order exactly what I expected to, based on the excellent description and photos which I had examined on the sales website. I think that Willa and her business colleagues try very hard to achieve customer full satisfaction, no matter what particular type and value of china item is being handled.

Perfect Buying Experience

This was my first purchase from Gentle Rattle of China - and not a very large one - and the transaction was stellar! The lovely item was packed with great care in a sizable box and it arrived in a timely manner, exactly as described. I look forward to buying from this shop again.

Very satisfied

Everything went very well. I received two packages and all the products were in really good condition even though they traveled a long way to the Nordic countries. They are much more beautiful than in the pictures, I am very satisfied. I also received good information about the products and how to care for them.

More than happy!

Super 1830s china to rattle gently at my tea table. As described and super quality. More than happy to recommend and to purchase again.

All my porcelain have arrived in…

All my porcelain have arrived in perfect condition as photographed and described in the photos. I am very particular with other sellers who tend to adjust the brightness and edit the pictures too much.
