They are gorgeous! Even better looking in person. They are heavier (in a good way) than I thought they'd be. They should last for a long time. I love the blue, and I love the little "cracks" all over. I didn't realize they'd have that character. Unfortunately I'm going to have to send a few bowls back. The UPS man SLAMMED them down on my porch and when I saw what he slammed, my heart sank. I have 3 bowls that took the blow. They packaged them very nice and if they were handled with care at the very end, they would have arrived all in one piece. I love my new dishes and they will be perfect in our new home!

Ps. Sorry I don't know why going from my phone onto here my pictures are going sideways, but you can still see the beautiful detail (and my poor bowl that is chipped).
