I bought these for my mother and myself. We have a hummingbird feeder right outside our kitchen window, so it is fun to eat off of these plates and watch the hummingbirds at the feeder.
I bought these for my daughter-in-law (and son) for their new house. She picked out several rooster gifts from which I could choose. This was MY pick. I have a creamer like it myself and love it. The rooster set does look rather fun in their kitchen - right at home.
I have collected some Talavera and this is just gorgeous -- and seems very smooth, beautiful, functional, and sturdy all at the same time. A pleasure to eat from!
