I always loved blue and white dinnerware.  I didn't want to spend the serious bucks that the Spode dishes would cost me.  The square plates are elegant and they are dishwasher and microwave safe!  What more could I ask for!  They arrived in perfect condition.

Pros: Great price.  Love the square plates.  Nice large cups.  
Cons: Isn't open stock, so you can't replace any (down the road) broken pieces.  Also, no serving dishes are available.
