I feel in love with this set online, but was very disappointed when they arrived. It took me a while to pack everything (my mistake!). I honestly wonder if these are knockoffs. The pattern seems grainy, like it was made cheaply at a mall and you see the pixels. Several dishes and bowls have pock marks on them too, flaws in how they were made. The colors are also off, muted. I wouldn't purchase these again and will likely donate the set somewhere.
