Used for 2 months and no chips, no scratches from intense cutting, no stains! These are so strong and do great in dishwasher. They look so expensive and nice in our farmhouse kitchen. The small bowl is pretty small for desserts or putting dips in. Big bowl we use for everything from gumbo to cereal. We also bought the matching pasta bowls and we use them so much for salads to pasta! Thank you Mikasa for making such a great set of dishes!
