These dishes are beautiful - just what I had hoped the color would be. They are almost an olive green toward the range of forest green, if that makes any sense, with brown accent around the rim and on the pine cone/needle detail. There is also just a hint of white that shows through on the pine cone/needle detail also. The only reason I didn't give five stars is that on two of the plates (I got eight) the glaze had little pock marks, but otherwise were perfect! They will go well with brown plates or even white/off-white. Even though they are green and have pine cone/needle details, they are definitely not pidgenholed into Christmas plates, but will instead look great with wood chargers for a more rustic tablescape.
