Was so excited about this set as I love the rustic and unique design and finishing. I knew the bottom was unfinished, and as someone who used to do pottery I wasnt too worried as I assumed it would just have an unfinished ridge where the platebowl sits. But when I received them, as lovely as they are in person, the bottoms are completely flat and the sound of them stacked together is unbearable. And even touching the bottom gives me chills similar to nails on a chalkboard. Im trying to finish the bottoms with dishwasher safe mod podge but no sure how it will turn out or if it will be worth it
