Purchased 2 of these sets. Was unhappy with product due to blemishes in bowls, plates and Cups: Bubbles under glaze in bowls, run over of colors around rim of cups & plates. The plates looked DEEP enough to use for spaghetti or other liquid dishes BUT they are NOT if taking plate to couch to eat! The main reason I purchased these sets was unhappy with existing plates mother-in-law purchased last year for us!! Back to 40+yr old stoneware we purchased when we got married!Overall it seems that products purchased online are the slightly imperfect runs of the production line? Not enough to go through trouble to return but I got what I paid for! I am hoping the bubbles under glaze do not become issue after some use.
