I was initially really impressed with this dinnerware.  The colour was rich and quite radiant, and the packaging was excellent.  I received these in July and have been using them frequently as my standard dinnerware.  The surfaces hold up well and there are no scratches or marks on them, even when using steak knives.

I recently noticed that the colour has seriously washed out on one of the bowls and is starting to fade on other pieces.  I wash these in the dish washer (only 3 years old, new model, high end) under a normal duty cycle.  It's really unfortunate that the colour has faded as these were such a nice set of dishes, but I'm giving it a 1 star because looks like I'll need to replace them soon.  I thought they would last me more than 6 months.
