This dinnerware looks great when it is new and sets a really pretty casual table. Works with so many colors and at all seasons. I have several concerns:
1. It definitely marks, and the marks are not easy to remove.
2. It is very heavy
3. The pepper shaker is not available except in the set. Thrice, the pepper
shaker has hit the granite countertop and smashed - had to buy set - now
have three salt shakers and am not going to spend the money for another
full set.
When I replace this (12 place setting) dinnerware set, it will probably be with a casual bone china pattern that can take everyday use.
