I last bought stoneware in the early 90s (well, other than a small purchase after some problems), and there were finally few enough left to look for more. I like basics, don't need mugs, and got two of these sets. I've only had them for a few days, but I like them. There are only two problems, and they're not large. The first is that the bowls are too narrow and deep. Same volume, but that means they don't fit as easily into my cabinet or drying rack because they're taller. 

The second isn't the products, it's the fact that Wayfair uses FedEx. I've had a couple of problems over the last few years, but this was horrible. The two packages were shipped on the same day from the same place going to the same place. They provided a due date. Both missed the due date. One was a day late, one was four days late. No updates, no information, nothing until "their on the truck for deliver". No explanation, no apology. That's not impressive and Wayfair should evaluate other options.
