The dishes are beautiful.  The bowls are a nice size and the cups are perfect....my only complaint about them is that they are really rough on the bottom.  The dishes have a shiny finish and I'm afraid that by stacking them they will scratch....  I bought felt plate dividers to put inbetween them though so that wont happen.  I'm also thinking of asking my husband to use sandpaper on them.  I bet that would help
