Very classy set of dishes. Nothing was broken when the two sets arrived, pleasantly. However, as we use them, I noticed that one of the coffee mugs had a hairline crack, which showed up after I had put some coffee into it. It's not fatal, but with time this will probably split the mug all the way down. The design is neutral and versatile. I've seen a number of closely related serving bowls and trays at BedBathBeyond, Williams-Sonoma and SurlaTable that go nicely. This was a good purchase on a sale, so I can live with one hairline crack. The plates are hefty without being unwieldy. Square chargers really create an elegant look. White sets off foods exceptionally well when serving.
