If you are like me this Villeroy  Boch vessel plate bowl is a must have , this modern design has the perfect features with the matte finish and wide edge . The size is great for a first course or even dessert giving it flexibility in when to use it in your dining experience. It comes in black and it is offered in white as well. The package came perfectly wrapped to insure the plates arrived undamaged and you can not beat the price. Once I opened them I was incredibly pleased with this item. You will not be disappointed. I love them!
