The plates come in a variety of beautiful blues. They are made of heavy-duty stoneware, and the lip around the edge is a novel feature. When paired with the bowls, they complement a southwestern or farmhouse decor.

The plates are a pretty blue. Because they're naturally made, there's differentiation in some of the coloring. I still like the set but it is worth noting that there are different ink spots. They are solid, good size and dishwasher approved!
