These dishes are very very pretty.  However, I have only had them a few months and they are constantly cracking.  I literally will be drinking out of the coffee cup and it will crack in half.  Most of the plates cracked too.  And I don’t mean chipping I mean literally just cracking into pieces.  I do not microwave these dishes but I do put them in the dishwasher.  I am very disappointed with the overall quality.  Total waste of money.
