These dishes are quite lovely as an every day set. The different designs on the salad plates are fun. The color is light blue with a hint of torquoise. The edges have a slight brown color used as an accent, although it's barely noticeable. They are heavy, quality feeling dishes. I haven't used them long enough to know how they hold up. I suspect well given the brand. For the price these are excellent dishes!! I have 2 sets and they all arrived safely and well-packaged.
