I really wish I loved these more. I'm keeping them due to the hassle of returning, but I don't love them. The pictures make them look brighter and lighter and almost like they have a gold detail. It's all lighting people! These are darker in color, beige, cream, brown, and the blue details. Each one is hand colored and the differences are EXTREME - like one all cream plate and one all blue plate. The biggest annoyance though is the noise that silverware makes on them. I've never had such noises!! Makes me get an awful chill down my spine. They also need a notch on the bottom ring under the items as they form a suction with the table and trap in heat from your food, leaving a super wet plate/bowl/mug sized ring of condensation underneath them and ruined my wood finish table.
