I gotta say that for the money, this set (I bought 2 sets) was worth every penny.....very contemporary with a slight retro vibe with what appears to be an extremely tough (and super high gloss!) glaze.....color is red to be sure, but it's that 50's kinda pink-ish/coral red....perfect mate to the brilliant yellow plastic-handled flatware I have en route as I write this...if I remember, I will take a photo of all of it when the flatware gets here....ya know?.....I looked and looked for just the image I had in my mind (the dinnerware and the flatware), and all along I had the feeling I would find it all at Wayfair......which I did....ya gotta wonder how they do it..........
