I love the big set I got but would prefer the 8.5" Watercolors plate without the washed-out background across the eating area like the 15" bowl and 10.75" plate. Keep the flower if you want. I love the border but the light background in the middle makes the plate look dirty. Also, the color is applied in a way makes that adds friction when hand washing and doesn't feel as clean. I have to look to see if I missed something or I'm just feeling the paint. I love the set but would buy another twenty 8.5" plates if you offer a version with a white background.
