I love the pattern and bowls,cups. I did not realize that the plates were as large as they are. The dinner plates do not fit in my newly remodeled kitchen cabinets which is a huge disappointment. I have to store them in the island and that is away from the other dishes. They also do not fit well in the dishwasher, again too big. They hit on the bar that spins around. It makes loading the dishwasher quite challenging. Not sure I would have chosen the dishes had I realized the size.
