These are beautiful  a great price for the quality. Cheaper than lower quality options at Target. I explored A LOT of options  was thrilled to find a set without mugs since we like to buy a mug from each place we travel instead. They’re nice  heavy  there’s enough variation in the finish to make them seem hand made. Color has a bit more blue to it than I was anticipating which was actually perfect for our decor. The little lip on the plates is great to keep food on the plates for messy eaters. Like most stoneware they do get pretty hot in the microwave, but that’s the only downside. Can’t recommend them enough!
