Reasonably priced, beautiful design & every day durability (glazed stoneware) with the “look” of finer china. First box packaged well, second shipment had broken dishes but Amazon was terrific (as always) & immediately satisfied us with replacement at no cost to us.This set is beautiful! Even the food I eat looks better, lol. I washed the entire set in the dishwasher first (with a dry heating feature) and nothing broke. Scratch resistant so far. The words dishwasher safe and microwave safe are imprinted on the bottom of the mugs and other pieces. I won't be using these in the microwave so I can't comment on that. However, they certainly withstood the dishwasher. These are the most visually appealing dishes I have ever owned!I bought them earlier this month and used them for several days. Pretty dishes and great quality for daily use, I was planning to buy another set for my friends. Nice choice if you are trying to find some adorable dishes as a gift for others or self use, I’d like to recommend them!This is the design I'm looking for. Love the blue design and the whole set feels good in hands. Very pleased I can find this set. They seems to be very sturdy and I will recommend them to my friends after using them for some time if they are indeed sturdy.I have had these for about a month and we use them daily. Only one cup has chipped even after being washed in the dishwasher.My only issue is that they get really hot in the microwave. Other than that, they have been great!!I'm almost 80 years old and have been married for 59 years....We've had many different table settings over the years and this is by far my favorite! I love the shading of the blue and white combination of the flowers. The plates, bowls and coffee cups are rustic and almost look hand thrown. I only wish you had the accessories to go with the basic set, I would purchase them in a heart beat....thank you for making your beautiful dinnerware. MarianThe pattern is very pretty.Maybe the dinner becomes more delicious,when i use the dinnerware.I was hoping this set would be as beautiful as I had hoped, and I was NOT disappointed! The value is unreal. The pieces are sturdy but light. I was hesitant since some people reported the white was not a true white… while that is true, it isn’t as bothersome as I imagined.Love them so muchEsta muy bonita, me.encanto muy buena calidad......Très beau et se nettoie bien
