I searched and searched the web for a dinnerware that I liked. I was SO glad I read the reviews of this product before purchasing.

Please be aware that the color is nowhere near like the picture shown on this site. A better representation of the actual color of the dishes can be found on the bed bath and beyond website. Look for the Nova Brown Dinnerware. They are still beautiful,,, and feel very heavy and expensive. But they dont' have the blues and greens shown in the pic. Just a hint of them on a few dishes.

I found when I stacked the plates, that some are a little mishapen. You would never know it on the table,, and it doesn't bother me. I think that is typical of pottery types where the pieces are handmade.

The pieces are each a little different,, all matching of course, but with a little different markings. They are unique and beautiful.

The do not get overly hot when in the microwave. I microwave my coffee a lot, and have never found them to get too hot.

I have two kids and have had dinner left on them overnight. They did not stain or discolor in any way.

They have not scratched or broken so far, and seem durable.

I would take a look at the color before buying this product on the bed bath and beyond site. But I would still buy it here. So I bought two sets, and the ice cream bowls. They were shipped a little slow because of the free shipping probably,, but they arrived in perfect shape. Nothing broken,, packed very carefully.

I was very pleased, and would buy more of this product, and more from this website.

The dinnerware was more beautiful than the picture. It is heavy and quality crafted. I love the uniqueness of each piece.

I did not experience the problems others had mentioned with heating. These dishes get no hotter in the microwave than my previous set.

All of the dishes arrived well packed and nothing was broken.

Very attractive and functional.

This dinnerware arrived in great shape and is beautiful. The colors variations are exactly as I expected. I'm so glad I ordered two sets. Delivery was very quick as well. .

We had been searching for a while to find dinnerware that suited our style. We fell in love with this set immediately. Great color, Great weight.
