Love these dishes! The different shades of blue are beautiful and go together very well. I ended up ordering two of these 16 piece sets because I noticed that we were running out of dishes very quickly with just one set. They go through the dishwasher well and we haven't had any issues with them yet. The smallest bowl size is similar to a rice bowl and works well for smaller servings and snacks. The larger bowls look deceptively small, but they can hold a lot! I bought two very large bowls from a different brand because I was worried about not being able to fit certain soups and things in the big bowls, but it hasn't been an issue. I wasn't a fan of the matching mugs so we just matched this dish set with a few Le Creuset mugs in three different blues and they look great together!
