I purchased this set to match the rest of the butterfly meadow dishes I purchased.  they are perfect pasta and salad dishes or for soups and some desserts like pie  However the design and quality is just wonderful for everyday use I put these dishes through the dish washer  and after 1 month of use not one crack or chip and they still look as good as the day I received them.
I love the way the colors of the pattern varies from plate to plate  I love the quality as well and they even come with a replacement certificate
