These are fantastic! Imperfections in them (drips from the glaze etc) make them look like local pottery that’s 40plate! I love the lip on the plates because my partner is the messiest eater imaginable and the bowls are a perfect size. They are a speckled white, not a porcelain white, but that is exactly what I was looking for. Haven’t tested them in the dishwasher yet, but if they hold up I will be buying another set.
