This is by far the best stoneware I have purchased. The bowls are very large as well as the plates and cups. The salad plate seems to be normal size. It is perfect for my family and I purchased three sets. The only con is that Wayfair shipped them in three separate boxes with one box coming from a different location. It was a miracle I had no damage due to the fact that the one box came without any packing material at all. Not a fan of the shipping practices.
