If it was just the picture on the website, I might think it was just my computer screen. However, the box also shows a very bright blue mug and the colors in the plate too. When the box is opened, I found a lighter blue...not primary bright blue, more like a Williamsburg Blue. It is still pretty but not what I really wanted. The other colors are the same way...pictured as very bright but muted out of the box.
Another deceptive thing to note on the picture. It appears that the smaller plate is almost as big as the dinner plate. It is described as a salad plate...it is a bread and butter sized plate. I am not impressed with that. That being said the detailed description does state the correct dimensions of that plate. In a typical family-style dinner I really have no use for it. I would like a larger salad plate that is just the right size for the kids.
As others posted, I too wish the Memphis pattern would also be on the other complementary tableware. Lighter color issues aside I do like the pattern. I would only suggest that when one makes a purchase you realize the picture is only slightly deceptive.
I do like the Corelle name of products. With my kids learning how to set a table, I need something a little more durable. This will do nicely until they are old enough to be able to deal with china.

Mikasa Italian Countryside Covered Butter Dish Review

It is a beautiful butter dish but the inside rim of the lid is not covered in the clear enamel gloss, meaning that if the lid touches the butter, it soaks into the exposed ceramic and leaves a grease stain. I bought mine at a Mikasa outlet store and was able to exchange it for a new one. I haven't used the new one yet because I am waiting until I can find some sort of ceramic sealant so this doesn't happen again!

The ultimate in versatility and classic appeal, a white-on-white design allows you to transition gracefully from casual to more formal occasions. A simple change of glassware, linens or the addition of colorful accent pieces creates an entirely different look with a minimum of expense and fuss. This pattern features a fluted band and a scrolling border, at home just about anywhere.
