Gibson Elite Mayfair Bay Embossed Double Bowl Dinnerware Set, Service for 4 (16pcs), Blue

I recently invested in the 16-piece double bowl set, and while there's much to love, there are a couple of aspects I'd like to highlight for potential buyers. Here's what stood out to me:What I Love:Chic Aesthetics: The embossed design and the light blue interior paired with the cream exterior give these plates/bowls a sophisticated and stylish appearance. They truly elevate the presentation of meals and make any dining occasion special.Versatile Bowl Sizes: The inclusion of both cereal bowls and salad/pasta bowls is a practical choice. The larger salad/pasta bowls are perfect for substantial servings, while the cereal bowls are great for a variety of breakfast options. The versatility in bowl sizes has proven to be a convenient feature.Considerations:Weightier Than Expected: One thing to note is that these bowls are a bit heavier than they appear in the pictures. While this adds to their durability, it's worth mentioning for those who prefer lighter tableware.Deep Cereal Bowls: The cereal bowls are notably deep, which may be a personal preference. While some may appreciate the extra capacity, others might find it a bit deeper than expected for standard cereal portions.Despite these considerations, I find the set to be an excellent addition to my kitchen. The weightiness speaks to the quality of the ceramics used, and the deep cereal bowls are a unique feature for those who prefer heartier breakfasts. Overall, this 16-piece double bowl set combines style and functionality, making it a solid choice for anyone looking to enhance their tableware collection.The only drawback I've encountered is a minor color discrepancy. While the light blue and cream combination is beautiful, the Amazon picture appears to show an aquamarine shade, which I was initially hoping for. It's a subtle difference, but worth noting for those who are particular about color coordination.

I was waiting to review until after using these a few times. 1 month in here are my thoughts:1) Shipping issues, which I expected after reading reviews. I ordered 3 sets and lost 3 full size plates, everything else was fine. The company just sent me a 4th set and everything came in perfect. Now I have extra bowls and small plates for when they do eventually chip or break.2) So far everything is holding up in the microwave, I do eventually expect things to break as time goes on, thus my purchase of extra dishes. In the dishwasher the dishes load really nice and come out clean and perfect every time.3) I have already chipped one plate, from hitting a bowl on the edge of a large plate. Only the plate chipped and is washing and still usable. Again I prepared for dish loss, it happens over time with use.Overall I am super happy with the hand painted and glazed look. These remind me of hand crafted pottery and I love the imperfections in the paint style for that reason. If you are looking for perfectly matching dishes stick to a single color. If you want something that is affordable with a hand crafted look these are for you.

Okay, I try not to put much importance on material possessions, but these dishes are everything I hoped and dreamed. They kind of remind me of the gills on the underside of mushrooms, but the ridges are shallow enough that they're super easy to clean. The green is earthy but a very pretty shade, and pics really don't do them justice. They're perfect for my decor. I did end up having to return the first set due to defects in the glaze of two pieces but the second set had no issues. The wide bowls are amazing for anything that may need to be mixed, like salads or pasta or cereal, and have a tall enough lip that things stay inside when doing so. The taller bowls are deep and perfect for soup, with less worry about boil-over when used in the microwave. They're the perfect weight: heavy enough to be good quality but not too heavy to be cumbersome. Dishes were packed well and both sets arrived unbroken, which is more than I can say for some companies. My boyfriend loved them so much that he also got a set. Highly recommended.

We replaced our 30 year old Corelle with this china. It's fairly light weight and beautifully glossy white. It does have a ridge on the bottom that collects water in the dishwasher. The ridge is smooth enough that you could stack these plates in the cupboard, but we chose to buy vertical storage for the plates.We initially bought 1 set to try and ended up buying a second once we knew we liked them. I may buy a third set!

It took me an embarrassingly long time to decide on a plate set and I'm so glad I chose this one. Everything is heavy but not too heavy, good quality and everything arrived incredibly well packaged and without so much as a scratch. They fit in the dishwasher easily. I did break one but that was my own fault for trusting a camp chair table.Pattern is really lovely too

These dishes are beautiful and sturdy. I've received many compliments. They remained chip free until we redid our kitchen over the summer and put in a dishwasher. I now have 3 chipped plates and 2 chipped bowls. I'm always careful not to overload and give plenty of space so that they don't clank around. I will be reordering another set to replace the bad ones.

I bought dishes at Target years ago . Target doesn't stock them anymore. So it took me a while to find almost the same style. Adore the trimming..it's stylish for everyday use..very pleased
