I bought this set several years ago to replace my Old Towne Blue set for a change. I loved the variety of the different art work on the accompanying pieces as I got bored with each plate being the same. This set compliments any color and will accompany other solid color plates. I just wish the set had matching serving platters as I would love to have a larger oval plate when serving steak dinner with sides as the round plate sometimes just isn't large enough. I may look into accessorizing with the 2-piece platter set available in white but would rather have a solid "color" or a platter with a pattern on the perimeter utilizing one of the colors in the dinner plate set. Still loving this set altogether!
