Love the dish set. The mugs are a perfect size and when I use in the microwave I was still able to remove the cup without a pot holder which I haven’t been able to do with my other mugs. The bowls are perfect for soup or chili. The pattern is elegant and a gentle soft color beige. The scalloped small plates add a flair to my table setting. Only one small little flaw in a dinner plate. It has a couple of black tiny marks sticking up which isn’t a big deal but makes me give these a 4 star instead of 5.
