These plates are gorgeous. I bought the red with blue. Note that they're not too red nor does the red overtake the design. It's closer to a terracotta than a classic red. I was reluctant to buy them online but I am extremely pleased with the quality and look. The weight of them is heavy and I like that. Note that I have to manoeuvre the large plates a bit to fit in my dishwasher but they're worth it. I love them!
