I really like these dishes. We moved to Idaho and got rid of our dishes when we left Wisconsin. We had 2 incomplete sets and just wanted something fresh - something that would last. These have an antique look to them (which I really like) and they are going to last. I am very happy with them. Plus I could just buy some glasses. The sets came without glasses and I was looking for that too. It was an all around win/win for us.
