Absolutely beautiful!!! The pictures do NOT do this set justice at all. I am so happy I made this purchase! They have a nice weight to them, and seem very durable despite their dainty and delicate appearance. I will say the bowls are considerably smaller than the typical American sized cereal bowl, but honestly they are wonderful for portion control. I use them everyday and pretend I am at an upscale restaurant at every meal. I recommend these dishes to anyone  looking for a touch of French elegance in their lives. Well done.
