Review of Villeroy & Boch "Switch 3" Rim Soup Bowl

Villeroy & Boch Corfu is the newest of Villeroy & Boch's Switch 3 patterns (I guess that makes it Switch *four*, huh? hehe)

Pros:
1) Very durable - they handle all sorts of abuse in our household including getting banged into the faucet while being washed.
2) The ability to mix and match the corresponding patterns is nice. If I get tired of a particular design, I can simply change it.
3) These dishes are dishwasher and microwave safe.
4) The patterns are very versatile and are perfect for both everyday use and for formal occasions. This is great for households with limited storage - instead of two sets of dishes (one everyday, one formal), you only need one set and just switch around your table accessories.
Cons:
1) This isn't really a "con" per se, but a warning: These are microwave safe, but be careful! We microwaved something one time and I guess we set the time for two long, because when the food became superheated it literally cracked the plate it was on (note: it was not the Corfu rim soup bowl). When we took the plate back to the store, we were advised that nothing is entirely "microwave safe" and you just have to be careful. Just thought you should know...

Overall, I would highly recommend any Villeroy & Boch set, based on our very positive experience with our set. ENJOY!

Product Description
Villeroy & Boch's Switch 3 is a favorite because it puts a fun, new spin on mix-and-match.Three distinctive patterns can be "switched" around in an interplay of several combinations.Switch makes setting a table a unique experience with the freedom to personalize the look...express a mood...create an individual style. Take a look at mixing the blue leaf pattern in Cordoba and matching it with the checks in Castell... or the green and blue bands in Costa...switch it with Corfu and bring out the yellow!Whatever you choose, the pattern is you!
