the packaging of this product is not very good. I ordered 2 set of dishes and on both sets bowls were broken. Out of a total of 8 bowls, I only have a service of 5. I was sent a replacement set and the bowls were broken in that delivery as well, luckily it was only 1 bow/. So out a service set of 3 (12 bowls), I finally ended up with 8 bowls
