I got 2 sets of these with a little trepidation; it was hard to know what shade of white they were.
Well, they are lovely. I would call them a soft white, which is really nice. You know that cucky off white/tan coloring that some less expensive dinnerware is, the color that looks cheap? These don't have that.
They look really cool with the indentations. I am now the hip hostess because of this dishware.
The mugs hold 12 ounces--a cup and a half. I find that to be more than enough for tea.
Be careful taking off the branded tape on them. Every. Single. Piece. I bought a total of eight, four-piece sets; 32 individual tapes had to be pulled off, and it was a pain. This might be because they arrived at the house in the middle of winter and the adhesive was cold, but the clear top part pulled away from the colored bottom part, so it was like...removing 64 pieces of tape.
Excellent price point, delightful everyday-ware. What else could you want?
