The dishes are beautiful but we had to order a total of 4 sets in order to get 3 acceptable ones.  I also noted that many other people have had issues with white spots, etc showing up on their plates; specifically the larger ones where the solid color is.  Because we wish to preserve the quality of the ones we have, I have had to take to washing them by hand - not something I had planned on at the price we paid for them!  I would give them a 3 1/2 star rating.
