The white on these plates came off after less than a month. I'm not sure if it's from knives cutting food on them or the heat from the dishwasher, but black is coming through on most of them. I mean, no bueno. And though I know it's my fault for not getting out my tape measure to show myself just how big the bowls were, they are quite small. Much smaller than I anticipated. Overall disappointing, and not what the other reviews made me think I was getting.
