These plates look beautiful in the pictures, and of course that is why I ordered them! What you cannot see is how sturdy they are, how they have a fantastic weight to them so that you can put them in the oven, microwave, or dishwasher without worrying they will chip or crack. The colors are so vibrant, and Wayfair did a FANTASTIC job packing these for shipment. They were really well insulated for delivery! For the bowls, there is this white line down the side. It is on all of them and seems to be the print design. It does not bother me but might bother others.

Update January 2024: 

Gosh I love these plates and no they are not just for the holidays....they are our new year-around Colorado home plates!!!
