The Thomas Vario is just super nice and despite the conspicuous shape you never see enough of. So far, the porcelain has held up well. There will always be rinsed with us in the dishwasher, and there is no chipping at the edges. Especially the large coffee cups are great. They are not huge by her capacity, because they provide more of a small magnification compared to a normal service is cup, but they still fit but on the saucer. So even larger cups lovers can get a proper place setting at the coffee table. Fantastic thing!
