I was looking for a white bone china set to replace our old dishes, and spent a lot of time looking online at various options, comparing plate sizes and shapes and prices. I finally decided to go with this set, and could not be happier. The plate sizes are exactly what I was looking for, the bowls are a bit on the bigger side, but that's OK. The mugs are also on the bigger side, but we are happy with that. The dishes are light and beautiful, and so far survived a week in our busy household with 3 kids. Two of the dishes arrived broken, but Great Offer Stock customer service is replacing them for me. Overall, I could not be happier, and I feel like I got a great deal on Great Offer Stock.
