These dishes are so cool. We were looking for vintage diner styled dinnerware and found this updated version. More cost effective and they are lighter than the original diner dinnerware. Only minus is that the striping does not meet in a clean line. I guess that indicates that it is wo-manmade. We ordered 4 sets of 4 because they were on sale and won't have to worry about mismatches in the future if some brake.
