I own all the plates, bowl, mugs, and even serving dishes in this collection and I love all of them. This pattern is so simple and classy, it's great for any kind of entertaining: from a simple get-together to huge holiday parties, this collection looks great with either holiday tabe cloths and napkins or a plain table top (either dark wood or light wood, i've owned both types of dinning room tables and either one still looks fabulous with these dishes). I've also dropped a plate on carpeting before and the color hasn't even chipped.

BUT the best part, i don't have to wory about my pattern being discontinued since the colorwave blue is so popular. If someone was ever to break a dish, i can head to my local department store to just order another.
