These dishes are beautiful!  They are exactly as they appear in the pictures.  The style is not exactly what i gravitate to, I like a more modern, contemporary style but these are still fairly simple and such amazing quality for the value. The only critique, and I would have otherwise given them 5 stars, was the depth of the bowls.  The bowls are very shallow, they are more like deep plates than bowls.  They cant fit a can of small soup into them.  That should really be addressed by the manufacturer. But other than that they are very high quality dishes.
