Hi Leen,

Do you know how is JAVA 's pricing like?

Is it expensive?

Anyone knows which is the best place to get those fish/co.ck bowls?

Thanks in advance

depends on what you are looking at, eg. getting a single separate piece, getting a mug only, getting only 1 set of coffee cup & saucer, getting big dinner plates, soup bowls, or getting a whole set of dinnerware & tea sets, etc.

eg. single plates can range from $4 onwards per piece depending on size and design. of coz, those nice nice designs are more ex lor.

i find that their whole set of dinnerwares are worth to buy, eg. whole dinner setting for 6 or 8 pax is going from $35 onwards.

you can go walk walk and compare. but all their items are quite dusty coz maybe the place is like a warehouse, vy big. but all you need is bring back and give it a wash will do.

these dinnerwares are comparable to those selling at big shopping centres but their prices are cheaper. some reason maybe due to that the designs are outdated for some, eg. xmas designs changes every year for (eg.) US mkt? and some of these are made in Indonesia. i find that they are quite thick and heavy, not those flimsy type. some ppl may like, some ppl may not like.

there are wares suitable for oven and microwave oven as well.

go take a look, plenty of choices and if you have hsewarming or xmas, you can pack a set and give it as a gift, quite presentable as well.

Actually brought a fair bit of things from Java. As leen says, the warehouse is dusty. ALL of the items are from a factory in Indonesia, so the quality is uneven. Check carefully on the items.

Hi everyone

Have you tried these guys, they are doing some nice plates at the moment ...

villeroy and boch dinnerware from villeroy & boch

Woow...Quite adorable the crockery are... I will definitely try to get them. Thanks for the share with us.

I think ikea would be a good choice for modern and simple crockery.. Other departmental stores would be expensive!!
