These dishes look really cute in my kitchen and the product reviews were pretty favorable - as long as you happened to receive the sets made in the USA and not China.  I purchased two dish sets and some accessory pieces and - because of the rather steep price - assumed they were American made.  Wrong.  Sadly, several of the dishes chipped when first washed in the dishwasher and more dishes chipped from use in the microwave - clearly these are not dishwasher and microwave safe. Extremely poor quality - don't be fooled by the high price!
