Review of Pfaltzgraff Winterberry 16-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 4

So I decided once we moved into our house that I wanted to start hosting Christmas here.What does one do if they have absolutely no Christmas dishes?They go to Amazon and see what they have to offer in the Pfaltzgraff department of course.Pfaltzgraff is known for their quality, something I found out when I bought my "everyday" pattern, so why wouldn't I be a repeat customer.The pattern on these dishes is both classic and sophisticated.The colors are of course holiday colors, but not so much limited to Christmas that you can't use them all winter long.I debated over whether to go with "Snow Bear" or "Winterberry," but in the end I chose "Winterberry" because I plan to have these dishes in my family for a long time.I was drawn to the pattern because I can see myself setting my holiday table in this pattern year after year, and the colors pretty much go with everything that is Christmas.Winterberry is also one of their most popular holiday patterns, so they have many matching accessories available in this pattern, which if you're anything like me that is a plus.I also loved the scalloped edges on the pieces because that seems to dress them up a bit and make them unique instead of the just the simple rounded lines.The plates are a good size, not overly large, but if you're anything like my family that's a good thing because you want to save room for dessert!I was pleasantly surprised at the size of the coffee mugs, they definitely aren't the ones you played with in your tea set as a child.They offer enough beverage to leave everyone satisfied, and to last them through that piece of cake they couldn't refuse.The bowls are a little shallow, but I actually think they're normal sized.I am used to the deeper ones that came with my "Monaco" set, but if you're looking to serve chili or soup as a main course, they do have matching soup bowls in this pattern that are available.The pieces have a nice sturdy weight to them, so that they don't feel too delicate to actually use.Also, the price here at Amazon cannot be beat for this set.Throw in the free hurricane candle holder, and I was definitely sold.All in all, this is a timeless pattern and the quality that Pfaltzgraff offers in their dishes cannot be beat.
