This set is NOT white! I understand there can be varying degrees of “white“ (maybe when it comes to paint colors though, not China) however this is not even close. I expected it to be bright white like the photos. This is a graydingy color. Also, the pictures are very deceiving in terms of size! The mugs are teacup size, more suitable for expresso 
shots, or a child. It’s a great deal for what you get, if you don’t mind dingy gray and toy sized, but not at all what I was expecting. So far one plate came broken but didn’t bother opening the rest since I will be returning.
