They are nice and sturdy. Some of the pieces had little spots on or tiny unglazed spots. But after using them for a few weeks I forget the imperfections are there. We love the size of both types bowls. The deep one is perfect for ice cream and cereal. The wider bowl is a perfect in between size since the green place are big. They haven’t chipped and they have been fine through many dishwasher runs. I would recommend if you are looking for a durable and clean look. Very happy with this purchase especially after having very old chipped dinnerware before.
