These dishes are quite lovely and VERY affordable, however, they are rather small, including the platter and serving bowl. Your guest will be having seconds, thirds and maybe fourth servings on this dinnerware...it really is very petite. I would finish the coffee in one swig on these delicate cups. I will probably buy another set of something else to actually use to serve guest with and use this set to dress a glass cabinet with

Pros: elegant to look at
Cons: too small to use as servicewear unless it is finger cakes and sandwiches.
