My husband and I ADORE this set. We have four sets to make a complete service of twelve since we love to host dinner parties. Being a foodie photographer they also lend fabulously to artistic photos with the elegant white and clean lines. They really let the food become the star with just the right compliment without overwhelming. They are perfect for casual dining but can also work for special evenings. No problem at all in the dishwasher. Love love love how they are oversized...definitely a favorite feature. You can’t go wrong with this stunning set!
