I am a new fan of Fiesta Dinnerware because of the color choice--Slate.  The color is a rich shade of gray that is enhanced by the luster of the Fiesta glaze.  All of my Fiesta Dinnerware and Flatware (wish Joss & Main offered Slate flatware) have come well-packaged.  These plates, as well as all of my Fiesta purchases, are in perfect condition.  This size plate will work mostly as a bread/roll dish for me.  I look forward to adding more service pieces once we make our move to the new-build.  These plates deserve my 5-Star rating.
