This design marries very well with my old world  Tuscan decor.  Just what I was looking for.
The only drawback is that the bottom of the dishes are not completely sealed with glaze which allows moisture to remain inside the dishes.  My cupboard shelves have had small mold deposits where the bottom plate ridges lay.  This manufacturing flaw is very disappointing.  
I ordered one set and would like another one but not until the glazing process is perfected.

Pros: This design is breathtaking.
