I'm very pleased with this stoneware set.  I gave them 4 stars only because the bowls and cups are VERY large, almost to the point of being a bit ridiculous.  The color is very pretty, they arrived in perfect condition and washed well in the dishwasher.   I purchased two sets of the turquoise and was planning on purchasing 2 additional sets of the white but because of the size of the cups and bowls, I will be looking for stoneware that will compliment this set but has smaller cups/bowls.
