Love this set. Washed and used it right away. Presents beautifully! Can be dressed up or down. Gives a sorry of rustic chic to your table. Have grand kids who are not gentle but despite some not so careful dishwasher loading no chips! Im impressed. Great value for the money. I love the large cups. Great for hit chocolate, easy to hold and the bowls are a nice size from cereal to salad. Great set! Highly recommend.
