As an OK product, the same model from the same collection bought 5-7 years ago (also in FF) is made of a different form - different are the shapes, thicknesses, finish etc.
In our subjective opinion these new versions have less grace and are less refined (e.g. sharp "now" vs. rounded "once" cup rim).
The comment relates to saucers for a cup of coffee, tea, and the cups themselves (other elements of the collection are unknown).
