Beautiful set
I just bought the 8 piece setting of this set. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! It was everything I thought it would be and more. It looks so beautiful too all set up!

beautiful, natural look dishes
We love our new set of dishes. They appear to be handmade with their irregular rims and surface. They are made in Portugal which is a plus. The bowls are kind of awkward for my 18 in dishwasher but I do like the look of their unique shape. Great for everyday but easy to dress up as well.

fabulous
This set is perfect for every day but nice enough to set out for guests, and the price can't be beat.

crack already
dishes are pretty, like the unusual shape, but one has already a crack in it so a bit disappointed

Classic. Chic. Unique.
Form and function meets versatility.
Love my new dishes. I was looking for something that would work for everyday use, cocktail parties, and traditional dinners. Check, check, check.

For 2nd home
I recently purchased two 16-piece Marin dinnerware sets in white for a 2nd home that i am trying to stock. I needed something that would withstand the occassional onslaught of young college men raiding the kitchen as well as something that would be aesthetically pleasing to me. This set fits the bill! I have used it in the oven, microwave, and dishwsher. The college kids have come and made their own meals using it and no chips or cracks! Now that i have used this for a few months, i am ready to add more
pieces to the collection. My only complaint, i wish the coffee mug were larger...

Great wedding gift
My husband & I put 2 of these dinnerware sets on our wedding registry and are SOO happy we did! They are beautiful dishes in person and so easy to mix and match with other things. So elegant yet simple to use for everyday - great purchase for a great price!!

Super dinnerware!
These dishes are great. Plan to order more including that soft yellow to mix with the white.

I did my research, and this was the clear winner
I searched high and low for the perfect dinnerware set and was delighted to find these! The dishes are simple, classy but with character. They are sturdy as well. I had a hard time finding a set with a good size bowl and mug, but I find these to be just right.

Beautiful-- wash by hand!
These dishes are so beautiful! They look like they were handmade just for you. The lines are so organic, and they look elegant under even the simplest of meals. The problem, however, is that they do not fit in most standard dishwashers. I tried them at my home, and the homes of 3 friends-- and the dinner plates are too high for the dishwasher. So, I returned them to the store. I cannot have plates that I can't put in the dishwasher. The associates told me that many other people had returned them chipped from putting them in the dishwasher, so it seems that even if your dishwasher does fit them, it would be too tight.

Fantastic Purchase
We bought the 16 piece place settings plus 4 appetizer plates and 4 pasta bowls. They turn an "ordinary" meal into an "elegant" one. They look beautiful on the table. We love using them!

Beautiful, but chip very easily.
I fell in love with this set, and promptly begged and bullied my husband into liking them too ;) They're a perfect mix of rustic and classic white, and look hand-thrown which is exactly what I wanted. After I managed to convince my husband we ordered 3 sets, and in the two months since we got them 3 small salad plates, 2 large dinner plates, 2 mugs, and one bowl all have chips in them. We have never put them in the oven or microwave, and I hand-wash (mostly just rinse off) before loading into a regular dishwaher on basic settings. Oh, and we don't have any kids so that's not it either.
I'm so disappointed in the quality, and having spent 400 on dishes and serving plates and bowls, just to find that I already can't use a bunch of them.

Perfect Dinnerware!
My husband and I registered for this dinnerware set! We have been SO happy with our decision so far! None of the pieces have chipped or lost color. One thing we really like is that it goes with everything & I can easily dress them up or down.

a gamble that paid off
I agonized over the decision to purchase this set online but I am so happy I did! These dishes are wonderful! I like the fact that they are classic and simple but just different enough to not be boring. They have a luster to them that picks up the light and the shape of every one is just a little different. They fit in the dishwasher nicely and do not chip. The size is big enough without being bulky. Overall, a great decision!

Look great but fragile
I decided to update my dishes after a recent kitchen renovation. I chose a twelve-piece place setting of the Marin line (with large pasta bowls) based on their simplicity and hand-crafted look. While they look great, after only one month of light use (it's only my husband and I with grown kids coming for dinner on weekends) that one of the cups cracked. I don't even know how it happened because there was no apparent "clink." Never thought I'd need to replace so soon! I guess they are more fragile than they appear. Think twice if considering heavy use.

Great design and value
I bought service for 12 of the Marin White dinnerware last month and have been really happy. I'd been looking to replace my 20 year old everyday china for awhile now and have been really pleased. I like this simplicity yet uniqueness of the design. Great serving pieces too.

Dining upgrade
After months of thinking about purchasing the Marin white dinnerware, I finally broke down and did it. And I'm SO glad I did!! They are even more beautiful, unique, sexy, and practical than I expected. Somehow they manage to be modern yet vintage/artisan. I love that they are handmade in Portugal (not China). These dishes in white go with everything, so you can change your table linens and placemats to your heart's content. Their style can be casual or more formal. After 33 years of my original "wedding" dinnerware, it was time for an upgrade. I'm really glad I waiting for the Marin White dinnerware. We've had them for several months of daily use, and so far they have held up beautifully. I highly recommend the Marin White!
