When I saw these online, I decided it was time to replace our old set of holiday dishes with this more sophisticated set. Whether you celebrate Christmas or just want to celebrate winter, these dishes are perfect.  I could not have been more happy as they are more beautiful when you see them first hand than in the pictures. These are a very classy way of adding joy to your winter and holidays. The artwork reminds me of pen and ink sketching done for early identification of birds. I couldn’t be happier with the quality.
