Amazon.com Review
Part of the impeccably modern Corelle Square collection, Cherry Blossom dinnerware has a spare beauty reminiscent of a Japanese print. Fashioned by Studio Levien of London, the pattern features softly geometric silhouettes in white with a lovely cherry blossom motif artistically placed. Slight coupe shaping creates a nice dynamic on the plates, while subtle angles energize the typically rounded pieces like bowls and mugs. Durable enough stoneware for everyday use, Cherry Blossom also dresses up easily for parties or romantic dinners.

The place to start a Cherry Blossom collection, this set includes four place settings, each with a 10-1/4-inch dinner plate, a 8-3/4-inch salad plate, a 22-ounce soup bowl, and an 11-ounce mug. With 16 pieces in all, the set is safe in the dishwasher, microwave, and oven for maximum convenience and comes with a 3-year replacement warranty. --Emily Bedard

Customer Reviews

Photo is misleading ...
When the plates arrived, I almost expected something to be
broken but everything came in good condition.
I bought two sets for our family of 5.

I noticed right away that the designs on the
plate seemed very faded and not as bright/detailed as
the design shown on the description photo.

I was a little dissappointed but we decided to keep the sets.
The square design is very nice and I like the
thickness of the mugs. A little strange drinking
from a square shaped mug but no one seems to mind too much.

The plates are also very sturdy.
I had dropped one in the sink and it surprisingly did not break.

It's a good purchase for the price I paid ($59.49 per set)
but I wouldn't purchase these for the full price of $79.99.

corelle good but not great
well we needed new dinnerware and my wife said get corelle since her grandmother has had a set for nearly 20 years, and my mom has had her sets for over 10 years. we were buying normal stoneware prior to this and top grade stoneware at that. but the stoneware just would not hold up in any of our sets for more than around 3 years or so. after going through 3 different sets we said lets try corelle. it took us a while to decide on the design she liked that i could live with since i really dont like any of corelle's designs very much. this one was subtle yet gave her the "classy" look she was after.

then we went to local stores to check out corelle, wal-mart, and others had the reg corelle but not the ultra sets. i was very unhappy with how flimsy the regular corelle was or seemed to be in those sets so we decided we would try the ultra stuff. also my wife said she only wanted the square design so i thought ultra would be perfect for us. i was somewhat wrong.

amazon was awesome to deal with that i can say. we recieved both sets we ordered (we wanted a set for 8) in perfect condition with not a single piece out of place. so far great.... after looking them over a bit closer i noticed many of them had warped sides or sides that were not straight. when stacking them you could clearly see that a few of them did not sit flush with the other ones. this was the first big flaw that annoyed me...

the second which really got to me is a finish / design flaw in these dishes. on most of the 2 sets on the edges are what appears to be "chunks" or flakes of the material used in the making of them under the clear gloss finish. they are very noticeable and especially so if there is light hitting or shining through them. it almost appears as small cracks when you hold them up to the light but the top gloss coat is very smooth and they can not be felt.
i called and spoke with correle and the lady said this was a known thing to them and was a 100% acceptable imperfection. its very common on almost every set some sets just are not as bad as others are. i was very unhappy with that answer. so corelle sent me out replacements for the pieces that were the worst. well those got to us and were just as bad if not worse than the originals were so we simply kept out originals and sent those back...so be warned if you are a picky buyer as i am this may not settle with you when you see the flaw.

onto the design. me and my wife both love the square shape of these. the cherry blossom design could have been much nicer though. its a more washed out kinda faded design as others have mentioned here as well. it looks as if they took a small picture of a cherry blossom stem and blew it up really big and did not correct it after doing so. i mean you can see its sorta jagged on the edges and looks very pixelated in a way you can see all the tiny dots that make up the picture. its just not "smooth" in a sense. we really like the picture they used in the design but just not the way it was applied to the set. the bowls do not have any cherry blossom on them just a thin pink link around the very outer edge of them.
and the mugs are not glassware they are standard ceramic which was dissapointing.

overall they do seem sturdy as i already dropped onto my tile floor and it did not break or chip. and because of this we decided to keep them. we are not overall happy with corelle but due to the durability we think they will last a while which is waht we wanted most out of them.

hope this may help some of you just remember to look at your local store at the edges of some of the plates or bowls to see the imperfections i am referring to because if you are picky about the way a 65$ set of dishes looks which we were you may end up not keeping them.

not so hot.
I'm sure these dishes are durable and practical, as are all corelle dishes-- the problem is the quality of the decoration. It looks INCREDIBLY cheap and tacky in person. The online image does not accurately reflect the look of the real product. By the way, I sent these back a long time ago and have yet to see my card be credited for the return.
