These dishes are beautiful. The white is clean, but the textured edging is a nice addition that gives them a unique style. The bowls are deep and the mugs are large, but the plates are on the smaller side. They work perfectly for us, but portion difference between bowl and plate is noticeable. The only reason for knocking off a star is that one of the plates has a manufacturer defect. It has red spots that seem to be part of the glaze. I've received ceramic and porcelain before with similar issues. But for the price, it isn't a big concern.
