Let me start by saying, the Bloomhouse Palermo Sun Dinnerware Set is a stunner. The Cardamom Green reactive glaze gives each piece a unique, artisanal look—like something straight out of a boutique pottery studio. The organic shapes and rustic vibe instantly elevate my table, whether it’s a casual weeknight dinner or a weekend brunch with friends.

The weight of these dishes is *chef’s kiss*—substantial enough to feel luxurious but not so heavy that my arms tire while setting the table. The unglazed bottoms (a minor con for some) haven’t bothered me, though I avoid microwaving them. Handwashing preserves their beauty, but they do fit in my dishwasher—just requires strategic stacking.

Now, the bowls! The 9-inch meal bowls are perfect for hearty soups or grain bowls, while the 6-inch everyday ones keep my snack portions in check. And those raised lips? Genius for saucy pasta nights—no more rogue marinara drips.

Durability gets an A+. A year in, and zero chips despite a few sink tumbles (oops). Bonus: Bloomhouse plants a tree per set sold—so my guilt over upgrading from plastic plates is nonexistent.

Downsides? The unglazed bases can trap moisture when stacked wet (pro tip: air-dry upside down). And yes, dishwasher loading demands patience. But for looks, eco-cred, and everyday joy? Worth every penny.
