Love love love the design and color of these dishes - but WHY WHY WHY, did the designers of these dishes make them so heavy and so concaved?  Because of the concaved shape of the dish, you lose ALOT of plate real estate for food.  I wished I would of known that before I purchased them.   I HATE the concaved design and the weight of these dishes.....other than that they are absolutely beautiful and I can not wait to use them for the next Holiday Season.
