Good product; great value!  I love the the simple, elegant white place settings.  Makes food pop.  I disagree that the bowls are too shallow, as other reviews suggested.  Its a perfect portion.  Pieces are heavier and appear to be better quality than I anticipated.  There are just a few very minor, unnoticeable imperfections (minor pip in glazing, tiny dark spot on one piece).  I love the complete service for 8, plus a couple of serving fishes and coffee/tea service (sugar and cream).  Very pleased with this purchase.
