I love these dishes.  I didn't think I would like the smaller soup plates (1 cup liquid)  but after trying them and the dinner plates, I think this is a much better way to control my portions!!!   This set is smaller in size than my previous set, but I like these better.  
The cups are also smaller, they hold 6 oz.  Which, if you think about it, coffee or tea gets cold and we end up refilling the cup with hot coffee or tea anyway.  
The set takes up less storage room.  It is a very bright white (not off white) , I think the plates sizes are just perfect.  Easy to clean, microwave and dishwasher safe.  My only complaint is that the company should also make serving platters and bowls to match.  Very hard to match "whites"
