These are very beautiful and look classy. I am particularly entranced by the color shade of the red flowers.These are a real bargain in my opinion. The plates appeal  to me most, I may not use the mug and bowl. But that should speak well of the 2 plates, that I would spend the money on the set just to get the plates. I am not at all inclined to be wasteful so this is an exception. Most likely  I will give them to someone
