Absolutely beautiful!! I ordered two sets so that I would have the needed place settings for family visits, etc. We're installing new cabinets and I only opened one since they're being stored for now in an upstairs office. The color and pattern are better than pictured.  The blue is a very rich color and the pattern is a bit reminiscent of Aztec or Mayan patterns. We ordered cabinets with glass fronts and I wanted dishes that would not only look great on the table but would give a nice pop of color to the kitchen. These gorgeous dishes more than fill that bill. The cups and bowls are generously sized, too. I could not be happier with this choice.
