I ordered 2 sets of these plates.  They came very well-packaged with no broken pieces.  But, with gentle care (I don't even have a dishwasher and no children), the plates easily chipped.  Now, even just with picking up the plates, there are pieces of the back side flaking off in my hand.  Very disappointing... I haven't opened the second set yet, and I'm hoping I just got a bad batch.  Not a very good quality for the price.
