Bico Magnolia Floral Ceramic Salad Plates, 8.75 inch, Set of 4, for Salad, Appetizer, Microwave & Dishwasher Safe

I purchased these plates for our family Easter gathering as my everyday dishes are red Le Creuset and this color would not work well for Easter IMO. I purchased these as a desert plate (even after reading the mixed reviews) only to realize they would not go pair with my red everyday set, so I took the risk. I then purchased the green plates after the magnolia plates came in. I purchased 16pc as my family is usually about 20 (babies don't count). The green plates I paired them with were another purchase (after the magnolia plate purchase) from William Sonoma. That was also a risk purchasing since I could not match the green colors sxs. Paired together they matched beautifully and I'm pleased with the overall results. The magnolia plates did not have any chips or scratches and none were broken. I would add IMO they are not top of the line plates. They did have some blemishes like little bumps in the glaze like sand or something was caught before glazing. My family love the setting and I did get plenty of compliments. I'm simple when it comes to using flowers as I wanted something simple and elegant. I steered away from using rabbits or eggs which I found somewhat common. Gingham would have paired nicely but didn't care for the gingham I was seeing. It is not my plan to keep these as everyday dishes but instead to use them for Easter or other gatherings. We later realized that we can also use the green WS plates for Christmas (not my intension but later figured this after we purchased).

These are just gogeous, excellent value for the price, and I have had many compliments on them, as well I purchased the matching pitcher!

Bought 2 sets (8 of each size) of the Bico Magnolia Floral Ceramic salad and also the dinner plates, and they are beautiful. I really love the design. I do see what many other people mention in their reviews: black markings all over the plates. Tried "erasing" the black streaks while washing the plates, to no avail. I'm still keeping them, as they are very affordable in comparison to other higher quality dinnerware sets. These are perfect for every day use and beautiful enough to make any table look nice and presentable for casual family dinners. Hoping they are long lasting and sturdy.

Love everything about this product.

Wow! the magnolia floral salad plates are a perfect pairing for family and friends alike springtime gathering
