I purchased two sets of these through Amazon toward the end of summer as I was fixing up my new kitchen/home. The package arrived within four business days with the free shipping- which is a plus. However, during the shipping, my two salad plates were shattered due to the fragile nature of ceramics. These plates were even wrapped excessively in bubble paper, however they still shattered. Thankfully, Amazon sent me not only two new salad plates, but two new full sets since they can't ship a single piece of a collection.As for the aesthetics, I truly love the plates and bowls. The dinner plates and salad plates are plenty wide and also deep. The colors should compliment anyone's earth toned, or warm colored kitchen. Each of the plates and bowls have a slightly unique glaze, making them look hand crafted and very original.
I never put the dishes in the dishwasher, although I'm sure it is safe to do so. One just needs to be careful when cooling the dishes, for that's when they will break. Only rapid cooling (boiling water to ice bath) would stand a chance in breaking the plates, however.
As for the mugs, I'm not a huge fan of having handles on my glasses, but I am not a coffee nor hot tea drinker. I'm assuming most people wouldn't mind the handles at all.
All in all they are quite expensive, yes, but worth the investment for someone who wants sophisticated, unique tablewear.
