The Tabletops Gallery 16pc Dinnerware Set is a beautiful design. This set of dishes is white with black flowing lines, some resembling a treble clef. They were boxed and packaged well enough to arrive without breaking. One small plate has a few rough spots on the bottom where the glaze was missing and one bowl was chipped. This set is four cups, four bowls, four salad plates and four plates. The plates both small and large have a rounded, square shape, which is a nice contrast to the flowing loops of the black lines. This is a nice starter set of dishes for a couple or young family starting out. It would also be great for those who are downsizing. This would also be a good gift for a music lover. This set of dishes would look very elegant on a dark tablecloth or a contemporary table.
