We both love the china. The colors are brilliant. Bowl is a great size for folks who love large portions or want the food to stay in the bowl when stirring items around to mix contents. The mugs ( I would call mug rather than cup due to generous size ) are balanced and love the large handle. Bought two sets to use in our new home, after 29 moves, we are finally settled, or maybe just too hold and sore to make it # 30. LOL
