I bought these as a gift for my 93yr old mother. She has had a set of white Corelle for years & as she has aged, she eats less & less. She had 2 small saucers left & she just uses these all the time. So I looked at what was available & choose these small appetizer plates. Well she just loves them! I have a set of Iris rainbow & really enjoy mine too. Also the fact that these are durable & light makes these ideal for older people!
