Perfect starter set! I purchased this Dinnerware set because I just started hosting Holiday dinners and wanted china to serve it on. Something not too expensive to use with children, but nice enough to display. The dinner plates are a generous size, along with the salad plate. The design is very detailed, even prettier in person. I plan on ordering other items from this collection through Wayfair. Wayfair did an excellent job shipping them. Arrived the day after they shipped. Great service.
