I love this set. I needed an all white set for my new open shelving in the kitchen. These are beautiful. Yes they can be fragile, I've had two bowls chip from the kids throwing them into the sink, but he price is right to be able to buy another set or two if needed. I purchased 3 sets to have a service for 12. I love the large size of the plates and the ample room in the bowls, great purchase.
