I love this set. It is so pretty and pattern is unique. I was nervous about buying online, but it is perfect. The only thing that is not that great is the outside of the cups. The look is a little harsh compared to the beautifully glazed plates and interior of cups and bowls. We don't really use those though, so it is ok. I was pleased enough to buy more items after the set arrived. Some of the accessories are really nice. I wish there were more items to complete the set
