Martin Hunt’s true passion is ceramics, in all its aspects. He is particularly drawn to manufactured ceramics, which blend creative artistry, materials science and retail savvy. In partnership with David Queensberry under the company name Queensberry Hunt, the designer partners with a number of factories worldwide, relying on clean, functional designs, innovative chemistry and engineering to create “designs you feel at ease with.”
As a young child, Hunt was “always fiddling” according to relatives. Little did Hunt realize that this constant attention to making things laid a firm foundation for a career in design. Trained as a studio potter in college, he discovered his true interest in commercial ceramic design as a graduate student at the Royal College of Art in London. Traveling as necessary to the firm’s London office, Hunt spends most of his time at the Queensberry Hunt workshop in eastern Essex, where he also lives.

Simple, beautiful, & durable. I love these dishes - I am trading in my much loved Staccato (which is also an amazing & durable set) for these. I love the simple design and they look beautiful on the table. They are also very durable - we have run them through the dishwasher, accidentally knocked them against things and the kids have had their go at them - they have withstood it all.

Disappointing manufacture change We purchased Bennett service for eight in 2015 to replace our day-to-day dishware. We were impressed by its crisp lines, lightness and translucence, and expected to be able to add matching pieces as needed.One year later we ordered additional dinner plates, salad plates and bowls to supplement our set. Each piece is heavier, thicker, and with more rounded edges than the previous Bennett line. In short, it looks like a cheap knockoff.We're very disappointed that, one year later, Crate & Barrel cannot provide matching pieces to the Bennett line. Date published: 2016-05-26

Casual Elegance, very nice quality, We purchased this for our daughter. She was registered for it for her wedding. She just had us over for dinner and the setting was really lovely. Date published: 2015-08-11

Beautiful and durable! I purchased a set of six 4-piece place settings about 3 months ago to use as our everyday dishware. While the dishes look delicate and almost translucent, they are actually quite sturdy and have held up to the inevitable "banging and clanging" of daily use and cleaning. The dishes have a nice subtle curve to help keep food on the plate, but this makes them slightly wobbly when stacking them in the cabinet; however this is a very minor issue. The bowls are an excellent size (can hold an entire can of soup) and the handle on the mug is wide, sturdy and comfortable. We were also concerned with staining from coffee and tea, but have had no issues at at all...even with leaving coffee in the mug overnight! Beautiful high quality set. Date published: 2015-07-06

Simple, yet stylish After 40 years of marriage and lots of different dinnerware - we wanted something simple, yet stylish for our new home. The Bennett collection was perfect - love the low bowl - perfect for pasta or entree salads. The flat plate shapes load nicely in the dishwasher. Very versatile collection - we mixed round and square pieces. Date published: 2015-05-18

Simple yet beautifully elegant! I bought the Bennett dishes after looking for simple, yet elegant everyday dishes.I wanted all white dishes so the food could be the 'highlight'. These definitely do just that! They are everyday dishes, as well as great dishes for a dinner party. They're also durable, and can easily go in the dishwasher. Date published: 2015-03-02

Very pleased I wanted an elegant but functional and affordable porcelain set in a 'warm' white - as opposed the 'grey based' white which I see around a lot in high end stores and to me looks grubby - with large (12oz +) cups and saucers. This has fit the bill perfectly and with 2 young kids and poor dishwashing loading skills these remain unchipped and unbroken. The only thing I would say is that the bowls are very big - the pasta bowls are huge but they work for us because you can put a normal amount of food on them and have a wide margin which looks pretty but the cereal bowls are not used much as they are so big. I bought 4 sugar bowls instead and we use those for ice cream/yogurt/cereal ... they are a tad too small but better than the cereal bowls which are way too big. Also, I did not buy the mugs as they are very narrow looking but the teacups and saucer are perfect for my tea or coffee and I am pleased with the teapot and jug also. Date published: 2015-03-02

Beautiful White Dinnerware This beautiful white bone china dinnerware met all of my expectations! It was packed so well, I couldn't believe it. I have been using it since November, 2014 and love it! It goes in the dishwasher with no problem. Although it is a bit cream versus stark white, it goes with all of my tablecloths. I purchased a set of 8, and like the fact that it is open stock. I may purchase more, if I need it. I would definitely recommend it to a friend!! Date published: 2015-02-17

Cracked in the microwave The plate was in the microwave for less than a minute when I heard it crack. I bought a full set so now I have to use it and replace the plate. I'm very disappointed. Date published: 2015-01-25

Simple and elegant We bought these dishes about 3 weeks ago. At first sight we were worried they would be too fragile and chip at the slightest bump, but after a few rounds in the dishwasher and regular use, they've held up well. They are simple and elegant, great for every day or entertainment! Date published: 2014-10-26

Beautiful plates. Check for wobble though! Love these plates - we've been using them as our "everyday" plates - and have put up with some abuse, lots of dishwashing and look as nice as the day we opened them. However - we did end up opening them at Crate&Barrel - and testing them for "wobble" on a table there. Only 1 in 2 plates passed our test, but the staff looked mildly amused and allowed us to pick out the plates we wanted. Date published: 2014-10-21

More durable than they seem We've been using these as our everyday dishes for about 18 months. They are so delicate and beautiful, and yet surprisingly durable. We aren't especially careful and haven't broken a dish yet. The exception to this may be the mugs - 4 out of our 6 have been chipped, and we continue to use them heavily. Haven't noticed problems with glaze or other manufacturing issues. Date published: 2014-10-11

Great Basic Set My husband and I registered for this set for our wedding. I loved the color and the clean lines of the plates. I looked over each piece for glazing issues and did have to return a couple plates because there were some rough spots. Other than that I love the pieces we have and have found them to be very versatile. Date published: 2014-08-04

Good every day dinnerware I love how thin this dinnerware is. However, the thinness caused 2 mugs and one plate to just randomly crack on their own. So, while it looks good, I suppose it is inexpensive for a reason. Date published: 2014-06-09
