I purchased these specifically for that they are unbreakable. The set in question was just what I wanted. These get used more then the normal dishes because they are super light and the girls love the color! These are not the most detail oriented designs and you can clearly see signs where the color starts and stops. A couple of plates have a clearly visible line that circumferences the plate. This is not a deal breaker. These are really just used in place of paper plates. Definitely recommend them!
