* Label reads Jonny Herbert Originals

The Jonny Herbert label produced sophisticated, junior-sized quality day, cocktail and evening dresses. The company was registered by John Buffa and Herbert Aptel in 1950 as a division on Sealove-Becker, Inc. By 1954 the company had expanded into the Midwest with a sales office in Chicago. Aptel later left the company but Buffa managed it until his death in 1973. I have not been able to track more detailed history of the company, although I must add that over the years I have owned a number of dresses from this label, and seen many more, and all are high quality, beautifully made and designed.

 

Condition 

Excellent. 

No notable flaws that I can see -  a sliver of thread can be seen on a couple of seams and stitching on hem a tad untidy but not visible at all from the front.

Please note that these are vintage items that have been used and loved over the years, As such, they may display slight evidence of their age. Any notable flaws above and beyond this will be highlighted here.

 

Comment 

Simply gorgeous dress with some fabulous design details that really make it stand apart from the rest. One of the best Jonny Herbert dresses I have had the pleasure of owning. Please drop us a line if you require additional information about this listing.

Cooks well, cleans easily
Size: 15-Piece Set
Bought this to replace old nonstick cookware. Looks good and not too heavy. Pot handles are cool enough to hold near the ends but tend to warm up close to the pot itself. Using on a gas range – heat spreads quickly and cooks. Best on low heat. Some sticking problems with food like cereal, lower heat advised. Glass lids are very handy with steam outlet. Have not used all of them yet, but they store and stack easily and I was looking for a good size stock pot and this should suffice. Not as heavy as other stainless steel cookware. Price reasonable for the number of pieces included.So far I am very pleased with this purchase.

Heat up well before use for "non-stick".
Size: 11-Piece Set
I really l Iike these stainless steel pots. I had to learn the trick to using them, and that is to make sure they are heated up properly before using. This makes them "non-stick" and your food won't stick to the bottom of the pot, especially if you're frying it. Also follow the manufacturers instructions and "season" the pots after you receive them, by coating the insides with oil and heat them up. They cook really well, are light weight, easy to use, easy to clean, very sturdy, shiny surface, and holds heat after you've finished cooking. Also, don't use harsh scrubbers in them because it will scratch the surface. Scotch Brite Scour Pads work well in these pots. If you scratch them, use the green Scotch Brite Scour Pads to polish the scratch marks out. Enjoy them!

EXCELLENT DEAL.
Size: 5-Piece Set
These are authentic food grade, stainless steel pots and pans sold for ten times more via other companies. I did the research and the part where we cook or boil is stainless steel. The core is aluminum (we don't get that when we eat) and the outside is stainless steel again. Beware, though, they are SUPER HEAVY. Lift weights before picking them up! We love them. Wish we'd bought them sooner. You can't cook on high with them, though, b/c it will burn the food, since it isn't nonstick. We've learned to cook low and slow. No need to scrub so much. That's the only drawback. Great quality!

Yeah 😎 get em why not? lol
Size: 5-Piece Set, Size: 5-Piece Set
Paid $85. These feel nice, look nice, these are heavy but shiny, quick warmup. These are heavy. The lids won't lift while cooking or make sounds for air or bubbles which is good. It worries me that the one pot I use everyday the big one, the glass lid starts making cracking sounds as if about to break... Weird... Every time I cook it feels as if I'm waiting for something bad to happen and ruin my dinner. Overall, giving 3 stars, due to the glass cracking thrill, and the bottom of the pots give weird stain spots after cleaning. I used aluminum foil and little water to remove those stains. Well... Dark dirt came out but now these are back to shining. So it is burnt something perhaps the olive oil I cook with? But yeah one must foil clean these pots at least once a week as it takes effort to clean those bottoms... Is there a product that resolves this issue? I guess I'm too young for this 😂 I would recommend if you like fancy at a good price. Ahh and that the flat one is the worst for egg frying, I tried 2 times once w olive oil and then with coconut oil both times fried eggs were really sad 😢 waste of eggs. Anyhow. ... Do the math and if you like 'em just get 'em.

Great Quality for Everyday Cooking
This Amazon Basics 11-Piece Ceramic Non-Stick Pots and Pans Set is an excellent value. The non-stick surface works really well, food doesn’t stick, and cleanup is quick and easy. I love that it’s non-toxic and dishwasher safe, and the black/cream design looks great in my kitchen. The pans heat evenly and feel sturdy without being heavy. Perfect set for daily use—highly recommend!
