The dishes were purchased for the Thanksgiving dinner and arrived on time.  I bought the blue. Great color and the plates are a great size. Unfortunately the square bowls are too big for my small temporary microwave and won't rotate on the automatic revolving glass. But that shouldn't be a problem after the kitchen is remodel which is coming soon.  Anyway I can overlook that issue as I really wanted square bowls for a change of pace.  The extra serving dishes were a godsend on Thanksgiving as most of my extra kitchenware is in storage waiting for the kitchen to be redone.  The mugs are a decent size and the bread plates work for small meals and snacks. Overall I'm very pleased with my new dishes. I also purchased the 16 piece set in white to increase the number of services.
