The dinnerware is really beautiful!  It is well made -I have used in the microwave, dishwasher, still look pristine.  The color is very soft and pretty.  The plates are a little larger than my other set.  The bowls are really large - wish that they were smaller as would get more use out of them.  The mugs are a good size with handles that you can actually fit your hand in comfortably.  Very nice set of dishes.  I ended up ordering three sets -love them!
