Chefs

These dishes all craze and crack, something wrong with manufacture. Hence they are DANGEROUS. By the time you see a craze/crack with the naked eye, there will be tons of tiny cracks not visible ....they let bacteria get through that is absorbed by the earthenware where the bacteria actually multiplies. these are not functional and should not be used. So do not buy them, if you get them you should return them or throw them away. Real china is another matter, it will not absorb bacteria and can be washed...that is why old china is still worth $ when it is crazed....not the case with these and other ceramics. STP is great, took them back, I don't know why they are still on the website.

I like the dishes. This set was adding to misc. dish set we already have. The pieces are all a generously sized, which is great as I do most of the family dinners and I like big plates for those types of events.

I bought these to give with Christmas cookies or as part of a hostess present. Very nice...different in oval shape but sturdy. Will be perfect.
