I purchased 2 set of these dishes.  I was looking for white, including square plates that would fit in my plate rack (less than 11 inches across).  The Mario set is perfect.  The 'wave' on the edge looks elegant.  I didn't want mugs or cups and saucers, so the small bowls and platters were a great substitute.  They are not heavy but still feel sturdy.  I was also worried about shipping breakable dishes.  The packing was amazing!  Despite one edge of a box being dented, the dishes all arrived firmly packed with no breakage.  Love them!
