Amazon misleadingly describes the color of this set of dishes as "Pantine Green," and the photograph shows items that appear to be a bluish-green. This is completely false. Be forewarned that the color is in no way green - it is a light, dusty blue. I ordered two sets, and when they arrived I was disappointed that they don't match my decor, since the dishes are baby blue and my other stuff is green and gold. So I am returning them, which is going to cost me almost as much as the dishes themselves cost, since each set weighs about 25 pounds. (Amazon is charging me for the cost of return shipping since they say the return is "not their error"!!!) The shape and size of the dishes seemed acceptable - they are your typical stoneware with some faux-distressing to give them that French provincial, flea-market find look.

I've been searching for the right set of dinnerware for over a year. This is it. I ordered both the round and the square set. They are beautiful and durable. The dinner plates are *huge*. Over 11" in diameter. The set could be considered more blue than green, however. My kitchen is a tropical blue-green so they match wonderfully. I can see a hint of green to them, but it was a surprise to see so much blue. They definately do not have the sage cast that the photo of the square set depicts.

The set was not as yellow as the pics indicate they are, but still a good neutral color that will accomodate any kitchen/dining decor. I love the antique look - each piece has different markings. Just what I was looking for.

Love the dishes. Great color and great size for the bowls and the plates. Bought two sets!!

The quality of the china is very good. The weight and feel of the product is substantial. I was disappointed in the color and antique look to them. From the pictures I thought the color was going to be more of a buttercream yellow rather than ivory white and the antiquing more attractive. They almost look dirty instead of antiqued but the price is right and they are certainly adequate for every day use for my family.

I ordered two sets, one in green and one is white, because I like the mixed and matched look. The cups are large, but the handles are very small even for small hands. The rest of the set is great...very sturdy and large.

I love it. The color, size, and design is just perfect for me. If you are looking for quality, elegance then you should consider buying this product for it makes a very elegant table setting.

Although the dishes are not as green as I anticipated, they are lovely. I ordered a "natural" set (for a mix & match look) from a catalogue store and they were not any nicer, although they were considerably more expensive, so now I am ordering a "natural" set of these. I agree with one of the other reviewers that the antiquing is not as subtle as I would like but it's good enough for the price. I love them!

I disagree with some of the other reviewers; I think the color is exactly the delicate shade of soft blue-green that caught my eye and made me want to get these dishes. But when they arrived, there were grey "scuff" marks around the design edges and rims of most of the dishes. I thought it was packing dust and went ahead and unwrapped them, threw away the packaging and washed the dishes, only to find the scuff marks are a permanent flaw. None of the other reviewers mentioned this so maybe it's just me. Anyway, I didn't return them. Hey, for the price, this isn't fine china. I live alone; my needs are simple. I like 'em.

I did like the way the plates looked, but I ordered a set of the square and the round, and they both came with demolished boxes and lots of broken dishes. Amazon paid to ship them back, but repacking them was not fun. I didn't want to risk another order, I'll look for something local.
