• "But they are too small for say a salad."
• "These bowls are super cute. However they are small."

Design and Appearance

Pros:

• "So colorful and the porcelain is so smooth...even smoother than glass. Love the colors."
• "The different designs go so nice together. You can mix the patterns when you set the table."
• "They look great with my regular white china and add a pop of colorful whimsy."
• "These blue & white dishes are absolutely stunning and clearly high quality."
• "The patterns are all clearly printed and very pretty."
• "The designs are intricate and look painted on (they don’t look cheap!)."
• "The colors and patterns are vibrant and beautiful, and I love the contrast between the exterior and interior design."

Cons:

• "Is a chip very easily."
• "After several uses and washes in the dishwasher, it seems the color is smudging."
• "Overall, the quality of the ‘print’ is lacking. In some places the colors are fully saturated and the lines are crisp, in others the colors are a bit worn and the lines are soft."
• "Pic is misleading because it clearly has soup in it in the picture."
• "The bowls are nice but the colors appear washed out, faded, compared to the ones in the pictures on Amazon."
• "Bowls with a lot of blue color have these weird white spots which make it look very cheap."
• "The colors are far lighter than I expected."

Durability and Quality

Pros:

• "I love the color and pattern of these bowls and my concern was that they might be fragile or chip easy. I've had them for over a month and no such problem!"
• "Replaced a set of Asian style bowls I'd bought from Pier One from years ago which had gradually broken. These multi-design, sturdy porcelain (type) real ceramic bowls are awesome - microwave and dishwasher safe."
• "They look sturdy, durable, and well made."
• "Seem sturdy."
• "They have a bit of heft to them and I would guess because of that they will chip less."
• "They appear to be well made and durable."
• "Beautiful bowls that seem to be very well made."

Cons:

• "They get very hot in the microwave because they are so thin, however."
• "After a few weeks of occasional use, I noticed a bowl was leaking milk after I filled it for breakfast."
• "We are a few months in using these and they do chip easily ☹ If you have someone using them/cleaning them and not super careful they will definitely chip."
• "After only one use one is already chipped at the top."
• "However, after a couple of months the color is fading."
• "I love the different patterns on these dishes, however, I was so disappointed when they started chipping after only a few months of gentle use."
• "Owned for 10 months. These have only been handled by careful adults. They are chipped."

Packaging and Shipping

• "They arrived well packaged and on time."
• "These came well packaged in lots of foam and a sturdy box."

Cons:
