Wow! Great deal on beautiful day to day dishes! The color is a cream color, not white, but so pretty. The plates, both dinner and salad ￼ are textured. The bowls ￼ plain, but there is texture on the outside of the bowls about halfway down. Really like these!  We haven’t used them yet however… They’re currently in the dishwasher for the first cleaning. Given all the great reviews I suspect they’ll hold up and do just fine.
