I haven’t even had these dishes a year and they look terrible. I purchased the white and all of the pieces have black scratches all over them, including the insides of the mugs from just stirring with a spoon. Any silverware that touched them made scratches. The coating on these dishes is very poor. Sad because they are very beautiful. Waste of money. I just purchased porcelain white dishes in hope they will not do the same. I will never purchase a white pottery or stoneware again.
