These plates are the perfect size and offer diverse functionality. They stack so well, are lightweight, durable, and easy to load into a dishwasher or hand wash.  Honestly, I wish I had bought these plates 10 years ago. They are plain and simple. You can dress them up or make them casual.  I feel like these are the same plates I grew up with in the 70's just without the green patterned trim.  I highly recommend these for your everyday serving set!
