We purchased these dishes longer the 3mo. ago.  I use these the day after Thanksgiving until Jan.6th.  They are the best to use and love the way they are so easy to clean, never had problems with them.  I make sure to get a new piece each year.  Wishing to get a new set of 16 PC for this year.  Also have the dishes Madeline because they are Blue match our kitchen, love both patterns and they named Madeline after me!! Just joking but that is really my name.
