These dishes are absolutely beautiful. I ordered two sets of the red. The color is just as it looks online. They are a nice quality stoneware that lives up to what I would expect from Oneida. I can't wait to use them! I want to add that I was concerned about ordering dishes online in regards to the condition that they would be in upon delivery. I ordered the sets two days ago and received them today. I've unpackaged everything, and there is not a chip anywhere! Everything was packaged with care. Very impressed!
