I tried the Olivia Dinnerware.  I liked this a lot.  I first liked it because all of the pieces are a nice weight.  They aren't light.  The pieces are nice and big and hold a lot on or in.  I like the design on them.  It's not your regular white pattern which I think is great.  It is fine in the microwave.  I don't have a dishwasher so I can't tell on that.  I think these are great for everyday use.  My son loved the bowl and is using one of these for his new cereal bow.  I love the mugs also.  I drink my daily hot tea in it - fits a good amount and great for hot drinks.  I love using this set everyday.
