M.V. Trading MJSP253S4V Japanese Cherry Blossom Square Bread/Butter/Salads Plates Set, Sold as 4 Plates, 5-1/4 (L) x 5-1/4 (W) x 0.75 (H) Inches

I’ve got a few dishes in this design. Happy to find this new addition to my existing collection. Perfect for serving dessert.

Almost pulled the trigger for a online purchase, but found them in a local store.The issue with this set is that the darker brown color bleeds all over and stains/diminishes the nice blue underneath. The branches are also an issue. Of the stacks of different pieces that we wanted, there were some that were lined in black and some that weren't.Given the inconsistency, I felt like I was settling for, just to get service for (8) for the three pieces that were available. In the end, I knew it would gnaw on me even if I purchased the "hand picked" ones, much less ordering online and being at the mercy of someone filling the order. If you look closely at the pictures, you will see affected areas.The full set picture was very elegant, but the reality was far less pleasing... Very sad.
