Is the Holst porcelain equivalent to the expensive premium brands?
Yes! You might also ask "... is Rosenthal porcelain better than Villeroy & Boch ..." or "Meissen better than KPM"? Of course, the sales representatives of this big brands can show many distinguishing features... but the conclusion is: Quality of porcelain is a matter of material components, temperature, the kind of production and especially the selection and sorting! Everywhere where sorting is done, the good selection must co-finance the b-grade and c-grade!

Is there a long time purchase guarantee for Holst Porcelain?
The term "post-purchase guarantee" comes from a bygone era in which the valuable porcelain was usually much more expensive than the cupboard in which it was stored. After a large number of bankruptcies, especially of the major German traditional brands, like Hutschenreuther, Rosenthal, Winterling or Eschenbach, the consumer had to learn that the promise of a "guarantee" ultimately does not represent an insurance of the former promise to buy.
Nevertheless, the commercial end user in particular expects a follow-on commitment, since its use cycles are characterized by different requirements than those of the private end user. Holst Porcelain grants at least 10 years as a promise of repurchase. This after-sale guarantee extends to all series from Holst Porcelain from the appearance in the collection. If individual items have been removed from the regular stock-collection, they can be re-produced at any time as a special production. The minimum quantity is 5,000 pieces. If the quantity of a repeat order of a single customer for the start a production is not sufficient, the production waits for further repeat orders from other customers for this item. Insofar as a customer does not want to wait with a repeat order, the latter may arrange for an immediate post-production at Holst Porcelain in return for the acceptance of the batch costs. More detailed information on the additional purchase guarantee can be found here.
