Title: They hold food...
Review: They do hold food...all in one place. The shape of these plates is wrong. They are more like a large, shallow soup bowl, funneling your food to the center. They chip easily, and explode when dropped. Recently dropped a plate, and the largest piece left was about 1-1/2" square, the rest was tiny shrapnel. Of course I didn't expect it to stay in one piece, but I think this shows how thin and fragile they are. Also, the leafy design around the perimeter is painted on top of the glaze and makes an irritating noise when scraped with silverware. As you can see, I am a guy who appreciates function. (My wife hates them, too). Just shows what suckers we are. Just call it Tuscan, Toile or Matelasse and we'll blindly buy it! Hey, at least the mugs hold fluids.
