Because of budget, this is the time of year I begin Christmas shopping. Bought two sets of these dishes for my granddaughter who will be moving into her own place next spring. They arrived quickly and in good condition. I am a little jealous. These dishes are simple but elegant. They could be used with any type of table decoration. The cups feel good to hold (something I love in a good cup). Now I can't wait until the holidays so she can see them!
