I have a modest pottery collection and open kitchen shelving. I wanted a set of dishes that appear to be hand crafted but without the enormous price tag that comes with artisan work. Sango Splash fits right in. The pieces are large and have a nice weight. The glossy "splash" is a nice contrast to the flat earthy texture of the dishes. The texture is a little gritty and there are evident brush marks in the design (especially so on the pitcher and baking pieces- sold separately). I have noted, and will heed the warnings, that previous reviewers have experienced cracking and chipping in the smoother "splash" portion of the pattern. For the price, I'm willing to pay for a replacement here and there (but, haven't had any cracks or chips yet). Replacements.com sells single pieces in this pattern if you have a mishap. The only drawback of the set, I feel, is that it is made in China. I didn't know that until after my purchase. I researched the set on the Sango USA site assuming it was made in the United States...but, like so many other things...apparently not. Lastly, I will have to agree with a previous reviewer...the pieces are larger than most dishes. For that reason I am providing the following dimensions (make sure they'll fit in your dishwasher): Dinner Plate: 11", Salad Plate: 8 1/4", Bowl 7 3/4" x 2 1/2" Deep. The bowls are very wide (more like pasta serving bowls) so I purchased the set of Ice Cream Bowls in addition to my set. The Ice Cream Bowls are perfect for soups and of course...ice cream.Product Description
