This review is specific to the holiday pieces. We have a large number of Colorwave Graphite and Turquoise pieces for continuous daily use.

The holiday pieces are really attractive, but I was surprised to find out that the holiday design is painted on top of the glaze, instead of baked into it. We have several pieces of the Colorwave "floral" bowls and plates and the decorations appear to be baked in on all of those, and of course the "Bloom" design is also in the glaze. It's possible the holiday pattern decorations will prove to have decent longevity, but since they're raised above the glaze, and have a matte finish to the touch, I can't imagine they'll survive nearly as long as the plates and mugs themselves. We'll only use these for about a month each year so maybe they'll have a long life, but it's disappointing the pattern isn't in the glaze.
