These dishes are a gorgeous shade of blue with a rainbow sheen. Just perfect. But...they are made from terracotta, and are very brittle. As most of the other reviewers have noted, these chip Really easily. Sturdier than glassware, but bump them on just about anything else hard and they will chip. If you can put up with a dinnerware set with many chipped pieces....can't beat the color. :)

So I ordered one of each color (white, blue, gray) and 2 sets came chipped on the bowls and mugs. Macy's was awesome and sent new ones free of charge, but any slight scrape of your fork to pick up food leaves a noticeable scratch. So I don't use them. Like everyone else, I paid a lot for these and expected them to hold up at least as good as Fiesta dishes which I had before and are much cheaper. They are so beautiful—but it I can't use them, what's the point?

These were super disappointing. I know that the design varies because this is pottery, but when they arrived, a few of them looked like they hadn't even been glazed. I decided to overlook that and kept them because it was the design on the inside of a few of the bowls and a few of the cups, not a huge deal. But, less than 6 months later, half of them are chipped. I'm not rough on my dishes at all and don't even have kids slamming them around, so I'm disappointed in the overall durability. I purchased these because they came from a high quality brand, and they were definitely not worth it for the price I paid. Save yourself the money, don't buy these.

The product is absolutely gorgeous. The color is great and takes on a purple gray hue! I bought it for my daughter. We ordered 4 sets online and yes, two of the 16 pieces were chipped or broken!!! The items should be wrapped in bubbles, not paper. We have returned one set (they make you return an entire set even if you only have one or two pieces broken) TWO times now and am waiting for the arrival of the final set. This is a beautiful product! Pleased with the individuality and workmanship of each piece! Please improve the packaging so it can arrive safely. The product is a 5 star. Shipping is a 3 -star.

Absolutely GORGEOUS dinnerware, but was broken in 2 different shippings and chips EXTREMELY easy. Ive had these for only a few weeks, and already 3 ADDITIONAL pieces are chipped (= ruined!). Customer service is lovely and tries to do the best they can but I'm heartbroken b/c I fell in love with this set. Even with a discount/ price adjustment, it's not worth it , b/c it's too flimsy (made of clay which is porous). What good is dinnerware that won't last for even a year or 2? a wasteful spend. so sad about this.

This white is so pretty. I want more pieces! It is heavy and looks so classy without being basic.

Love the colors, good quality. Mikasa makes good products that last long

This is a beautiful piece. The color is as it appears in pic, almost translucent. The bride loved it! It says it's dishwasher safe but to be safe, I wouldn't wash it in the dishwasher. I'm planning to purchase the set for myself and my daughter.
