Love the Fiesta ware, but there seems to be some differences in the glazing process. I have these invthe Sage and Cobalt, and the Sage has definitive rings, but the Cobalt does not. You can feel them, but they aren't highlighted in quite the same way (hence 4 instead of 5 stars). I ordered 2 sets of 4 plates each - one set in Sage and one in Cobalt. The Sage plates came ONE PER BOX - thoroughly bubble-wrapped in a 6"x12"x16" box (see photo). The blue set came 4 in a box - a smaller box. All arrived in a timely manner, in perfect condition. I wasn't thrilled about the waste on the Sage plates, but I'm very happy with the plates - which, by the way, I had a hard time finding anywhere else.
