I bought these dinner plates along with the salad/desert plates and the footed bowl.  All have a lovely soft cream acanthus design with taupe shading along the raised design.  The salad/desert plates are subtly scalloped, the dinner plates are not and the bowls are footed which make a nice presentation if arranged all together for soup/salad/dinner.  All of the plates are substantial in feel and weight, not "chippy" and the glaze is smooth and unbroken.  I would mention, however, that the dinner plates are quite large at 11.5" which may be a tad too large for your dishwasher.  Arrange carefully. Pros: Dishwasher/microwave safe, substantial and well made. Cons: May be too large for smaller dishwashers.
