I loved the beautiful impressionistic pattern on these dishes however the quality control at the factory must be non existent. 50% of the dishes we ordered were defective in many different ways, Smudges in the design under the glaze, black/brown spots under the glaze as well as imperfections in the glaze itself like they never cleaned dust or stray clay pieces away from the final glazing process. Save yourself time and agony over these dishes. I'm already unrealistically hoping a replacement order will be better but not expecting much. I love Wayfair and have never had this type of problem before but buyer beware.
