I bought these dishes to go with my Italian themed kitchen. I had already purchased the fruit bowl and loved it. The dishes are on the small side but really pretty. The only problem i have is that when i put them in the microwave they get burning hot. I also wanted to purchase an additional set of salad plates but they are quite expensive.

This set is lovely to look at but nothing else. I have already chiped two items. The dinner plates are more like a saucer and the saucers are useless. They get to hot to handle out of the microwave but the food is barely warm. The really are lovely but not at all servicable.

The design is beautiful and I especially like the raised paint accents. It's very lightweight. There are four pieces to a place setting, a cup and saucer, soup bowl, and salad plate. There are no dinner plates! If the small plate is a dinner plate it is way too small and is sufficient for salad or dessert only. It's a shame because the design and colors are pretty.

I had two concerns when I ordered the whole set. I had read a review long ago on a similar product in which a shopper complained that the bottoms were not glazed. Not so with this set, all bottoms are nicely sealed and do not have a mould problem. The finishes are very nice and they are clearly hand painted as no two fruits throughout the set are exactly the same, making the set more beautiful, earning the five stars in workmanship. The only other concern I had before purchasing was some sets I had seen had the same design on all bowls, then the same design on all plates. This set was done correctly, with a different fruit on each item in every set (one apple plate, one grapes, one pear, one strawberry, and so-on for bowls, etc). I was a little dissapointed with there being some small spots on the bottoms of the dishes that had pin-point holes in the glaze, letting a little water penetrate the ceramic, but I guess this is to be expected. I chipped a dish right off, but this one was my fault. Be careful, as the dishes are VERY slippery when you first rinse them. It seems that the in the last stage of manufacuter all the items are given a light coating of something (silicone?) that causes them to slip from your hands when you rinse them for the first time. This goes away once washed for the first time. GOOD luck, and enjoy. My husband and I liked them so much we had to have multiples of the whole set!

First I ordered a set for 4, then many more side pieces including the canister set and cookie jar. I liked it all so much I ordered another set for 4 so I would have plenty for dinner guests. Workmanship is wonderful.

I had purchase theses for my daughter for a birthday present and they are beautiful. She just loved them. The workman ship and quality are amazing, and you can¿t beat the price. She went back and bought some of the accent pieces. I would highly recommend them.

Wonderful! they look perfect on my table. I have always wanted the Tuscan hand painted dinner set. I'm so happy with this product, and once again it is a lovely product and you can really appreciate the hand painted details on them. I would recommend this product to everyone who are looking for a good quality dinner set. Thanks Overstock.

When these dishes first arrived I was very happy with them. After having them for 3 months I have noticed that the unpainted portion on the bottom of the dishes promote mildew growth. All of the plates, bowls and coffee mugs have unpainted stoneware on the bottom and all have grown mildew. I have had many stoneware dishes and this is the only time I have ever had this problem. Overstock has a short return period so I will be giving these to charity. I also have the cannister set and am having the same problem with the interior. I have washed and dryed the cannisters numerous times and continue to have the same problem. I have ruined many packages of sugar and flour. I let the cannisters dry for days before filling them and the moisture still intrudes. Very frustrating and disappointing.

Loved the design and variety of colors. Plates were too small for dinner plates. I thought part of my order was missing when I first opened the box, was expecting a dinner plate. They work for large salad plates. Will work for luncheon dishes, unfortunately I wanted to use for dinner.

Received dishes very promptly, thanks! No broken dishes, packaged very well. I ordered two sets and one of the sets are a darker color, possibly from the handpainting. Also, the plates have nicks in the white scroll, however, nothing to deter the purchase. I would recommend these dishes if you are looking for a nice, unique set. It's hard to find dishes like these in the store without an expensive price tag. I plan on ordering all of the Tuscan collection, thanks overstock for another fantastic purchase ;o)

This came as described. I bought it for my sister for X-mas and when I opened it to make sure the dishes were ok, i really got to see the pattern up close. it was beautiful!

I figured these beautiful dishes were made in Europe somewhere, but I was wrong. For a starter set, these were a perfect gift.

It is a nice set, a lot of different colors so goes with a lot of different schemes. It would be nicer to have salad plates with it too.
