These bowls are quality, so much prettier in person, and they are HUGE! I haven't used anything else since they came. If you eat anywhere besides the dining table these are a must for a spill free meal. I think they are a gorgeous blue instead of turquoise but that's a matter of opinion.  I consider turquoise to have a tad more green and a more intensity. You won't be sorry you ordered them. I'll probably order another set.
