I adore this pattern!!  It is so beautiful, and the detail is incredible.  I was looking for a new set to replace my dishes that heat faster in the microwave than the food that's on them, and I kept coming back to these, even though I wanted to use them for everyday.  Then I realized, I am worth using these everyday!!  So I bought them, and I love them!!  This is the cheapest you will find this set, too; I've looked everywhere, and, this was the best price anywhere, even on sale...
