This dinnerware set is awesome.  I love the lips on the dinner and salad plates...no drips or messes.  The
little bowls are perfect to add a portion side-salad without spilling into main course for e.g. cottage cheese, beet salad, kidney bean salad, parmesan cheese, just use your imagination.  Perhaps, those little bowls are my favorite part of the dishes.  I use the little bowls all the time.  The soft moss color fits with most color motifs and the set has the perfect pieces to present a meal using all the different components from large to small.  I would order this set again.
