I am from Germany and love Villeroy & Boch which is a German company and very popular for its tableware (mostly for its dishes, not so much for its flatware).When moving to the United States I was surprised that the selection of silverware is more limited than the one in Germany.
The silverware available in the U.S. is mainly produced in Vietnam, only one set I am aware of is made in Indonesia ("Mademoiselle", I think). This would not be a problem for me if it was actually mentioned in the product description or was visible on the amazon photos or on the official website on the Villeroy & Boch website. However, the print "Vietnam" has been removed from the photos with photoshop and the photos do not reflect the actual silverware you will receive. The silverware you will receive has a "Vietnam" print on the kife. The print makes an otherwise nice flatware set look cheap, visible for all your guests.
I expected high quality silverware made in Germany (unless mentioned otherwise), but received somewhat quality made silverware made in Vietnam... I am disappointed.
I uploaded some photos to get you a better idea what you will get when ordering this set.
