I just unpacked this GORGEOUS set of dinnerware...it arrived well packed and in pristine condition...!!!  My favorite pieces are the mugs...they are large and heavy yet very comfortable to hold...!!!  The dishes are a little bit darker in color than they appear in this picture and they have a slight green tint in the outer band on the plates, which I love because they match a beautiful set of green goblets that I already had...what wonderful luck...!!!  You cannot go wrong with this set...!!!!!!!!
