Gibson Elite Casa Estebana 16 Piece Dinnerware Plates, Bowls, & Mugs Set, Cream

I love the dishes and the color is absolutely beautiful, but, When I took the dishes out of the box that they were shipped in, they all made a crackles sound like they were getting ready to splinter in every direction. i put them in the dishwasher, and when I took them out, they made the same noise again. it is a little un-nerving with the dishes, making that little crackle sound. But hopefully in time, they will be quiet.! i'm going to order another set and hopefully when they arrive, they won't make a sound.! Thanks!

I'm escaping from a financially abusive situation and was finally able to move away into my own place. I put everything I owned into my car and lived out of that for a few months. One thing cars tend not to have are kitchens, so upon moving in, I needed new everything for a kitchen area. Cue this dish set. Instantly, I fell in love with it on the product description page. This set is gorgeous AND functional, the perfect combination. The mugs heat up well in the microwave and don't get too hot to the touch. They are also probably 16 oz, or two cups of coffee, in size. The bowls and plates are also the perfect sizes. They clean easily in the sink and just make me happy looking at them. The color scheme is warm, like a comforting hug, and it reminds me of the home I never had, but want to create in the future. The mugs and plates have that cream colored theme, while the bowls are like the inside of the mugs, that awfully pretty burnt sienna color. If you like the design of this dishware set, they are worth the purchase. Photos feature images with and without flash. Flash really brings out the color.
