These are gorgeous dishes! I love them so much! The packaging when delivered was damaged, but the dishes were so well packed on the inside, they were all intact. 
The only reason it's 4 and not 5 stars is simply because the distressed detail is, in fact, not distressed but drawn on. It almost looks like someone ran a crayon around the edges. That said, not many would think to look that closely and when you're eating it doesn't distract from the plate. 
Also, these dishes are huge! I read that the coffee cups were massive, and yes, they are but so are the bowls! So much coffee, so much pasta! Perfect!
And they arrived 4 days early! I waited while these were on backorder and I'm so glad I did!
