I've used Botanic Garden for many years but fancied a change for our everyday china. The design of Water Garden is so fresh looking it was just what I needed, and at a great price too. I bought the pasta bowls too to go with the set and they are a perfect size. The side plates are a very useful size,  quite large enough for a small meal. However the dinner plates are a bit too big as they need tilting in the dishwasher.
