I actually purchased the bluish - greenish set. The color and square shape of the cups, plates and bowls is very sharp looking. I would describe it over all with a contemporary Asian flair. If you enjoy cooking and entertain often this set makes a nice presentation for cuisine prepared with care. The initial cost of these dishes was very reasonable. Once again they lowered the price, so I decided to buy a second set for the additional bowls that I need. Spares are always good to have on hand.
