I love these dishes!  I thought they were a little more teal but they are robin egg blue and beautiful. They have a slightly rustic appearance and appear as a hand made product. They arrived a day earlier than I expected. I ordered 3 sets and each set arrived well packaged and in perfect condition. No breaks or cracks. Love the 2 sizes of bowls and no mugs.  The weight is just what I wanted.  They are heavy enough to feel substantial but not as heavy as the pottery dishes I am replacing.  I love these dishes!   My only complaint of the company is that they used 3-4 1/2 inch sheets of styrofoam in the packing. No one packs in styrofoam now and in some states it is illegal. But the dishes arrived in perfect condition so what can I say.
