The price is right!
By MK MOMVerified Reviewer from Maryland on 2/9/2009
Gift:
No
Pros:
Attractive Design, Unique
Cons:
Low Quality
Describe Yourself:
Budget Shopper
Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Porcelain Stars:

I ordered these when they were on clearance and I ordered extras after reading the reviews. True, some of them do have the gold painting a little off and a few chips. But for the price they are worth it - I am going to use them for holiday gifts for my consultants and will pick out the ones that look the best - for the clearance price they are worth it.

Great Deal
By KimmyOVerified Reviewer from Indianapolis, IN on 11/10/2008
Gift:
No
Pros:
Attractive Design
Cons:
Delicate
Best Uses:
Living Room, Wedding favors
Describe Yourself:
Midrange Shopper
Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Porcelain Stars:

I bought these several years ago to use as wedding favors for my holiday weddings. They were a big hit. Not all of them were the best quality with some painting being off but overall for the cost this was a great investment for me for wedding favors. I wanted something unique and cost-effective and these definitely fit the bill.

Disappointing.
By VenusektVerified Reviewer from Visalia, CA on 12/19/2007

poor quality

Comments about Lillian Vernon Porcelain Stars:

I bought these to give to the other teachers at my school. It's good I bought extra because I waited until the last minute (as a busy mom and teacher) to open them and some of them had broken corners. All of them had a least a small chip in the glaze, almost as though it's the spot they are loaded into a machine. Gold lettering is faint and off center. I'm a little embarrassed but sadly have nothing else to give. I just hope they are accepted in the spirit of "it's the thought that counts"

Great value
By BreannVerified Reviewer from Washington State on 12/12/2007
Pros:
Attractive Design, Bright, Durable
Best Uses:
Attach to Christmas gifts, christmas tree
Describe Yourself:
Practical
Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Porcelain Stars:

True, the gold lettering is faded or worn-looking, but I think that's part of the charm of these pretty ornaments. The quality of manufacturing (smoothness of the porcelain and finish) is what one might expect for the price, I was delighted to find porcelain for that price at all. My only complaint is that the "Made in China" stickers come on each ornament and don't remove easily. Otherwise, I'm pleased and think it's a great value.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Porcelain Stars:

The stars were painted poorly. Most of the gold paint was off of the lettering.

Worst quality I've ever seen!
By TheresaVerified Reviewer from Rochester, NY on 11/6/2007
Pros:
Returnable
Cons:
Gold rubbed off, Not lined up, Worse than cheap
Best Uses:
Absolutely none
Describe Yourself:
Mom and wife, Practical
Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Porcelain Stars:

The gold paint was not even lined up with the raised letters and was half rubbed off prior to packaging. I am so disappointed that I now have to replace these gifts with something suitable AND I have to pay to ship back this poor excuse of a product!

Service & Delivery comments:

Delivery was very quick.

Adequate Value for the Price
By The Office MomVerified Purchaser from Lake Charles, LA on 10/29/2007
Cons:
Heavy
Best Uses:
Christmas display
Describe Yourself:
Practical
Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Porcelain Stars:

The ornaments are kind of heavy. They appear more delicate in the picture than they turn out to be. They are not as white, they lean more towards an ecru color. Still, they were reasonable, for the price.

Nice touch
By Pepdomom from Orlando, FL on 10/25/2007
Pros:
Attractive Design, Durable, General they are great
Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Porcelain Stars:

Each Thanksgiving I give a Christmas ornament to each guest. Last year I added the year to the back of each of these stars and then placed one at each dinner guest's place at the table. Considering the price, I think they made a wonderful gift for my purpose.

Mmmh...
By * Elly_B * from S-Town, CA on 10/17/2007
Pros:
Attractive Design
Cons:
Delicate
Best Uses:
Living Room
Describe Yourself:
Bargain Hunter, Practical
Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Porcelain Stars:

I'm not sure if I would have bought them if I would have been able to see how they look in person. They are not too bad but they look a lot better in the picture. Somebody already said that the golden painting is not great quality and I agree, some stars actually have the golden writting kind of faded.

Cons:
Not a good finish
Describe Yourself:
Quality shopper, Stylish
Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Porcelain Stars:

The porcelain stars are too big as compared to what is shown on the website. Also, the porcelain finish is not up to the mark and the golden painting quality is not good. I bought this item as a gift item & sadly have to return it now.
