Five years ago I purchased a set of rimmed and a set of coupe for formal and everyday use. I have been extremely pleased. The presentation of each is lovely and as for the informal which I use daily, there have been no chips or scratches when using dishwasher, microwave or warming plates in oven. I couldn't be happier with the quality. And they are beautiful so the presentation is always stunning. I've managed to purchase most of the pieces associated with each. The small floral pieces are especially pretty. The pitcher is next on my list. And if you don't make gravy more than once a year, use that gravy boat for mixing dressings. Works like a charm.
