I searched for a long time for a new plate set and finally found these. I love them! The plates and bowls are generously sized. They are very sturdy and are holding up well to the kids using them. I love the soft, mossy green color and how each piece looks slightly different from the others. Most of all, I love how this set comes with small dipping bowls instead of mugs and saucers. The dipping bowls are so much more useful in my household and I don't have to take up cupboard space storing all the mugs and saucers that we never use. I highly recommend this plate set.
