Love this stoneware set. A 16 piece with small and large bowls is perfect for us as we don't need more mugs and like having the cereal size bowl as well as the larger ones which are good for  serving pasta, stews, chili, and hearty entre size soups and keeping them warm longer. It's as beautiful as the pictures which accurately show the real life colors, not always the case with on line or print pics. They arrived early, perfectly packed and in perfect condition. Would definitely recommend.
