Caleca Pink Garland 4-Piece Fruit Bowl Set

I purchased Caleca Pink Garland dishes many years ago and have never grown tired of them. I use them every day and they are still in excellent shape. Over the years, a few pieces have chipped and I was looking to replace them and add some additional pieces to my set. I discovered that they were discontinued in 2004 and set about searching the internet to see if I could find any still available. I did find an extensive collection of the discontinued Caleca Pink Garland at another website, but many of the pieces were one of a kind and expensive. So I was excited to find a smaller selection on amazon, reasonably priced, with free shipping for prime members. I ordered this set of four fruit bowls as well as a set of four replacement dinner plates. They arrived in sturdy boxes with the caleca name and all were in excellent condition. I was disappointed, however, when I discovered that they do not match the rest of my Calecas -- specifically, the green paint is not the same shade as the green on the original Calecas (thankfully, the pink and blue colors DO match). The pieces are thinner/lighter than the originals, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The Caleca logo on the backs of the pieces differs from the Caleca logo on the originals, so I am guessing that the Caleca Pink Garland are being produced again, perhaps by another company, and available through amazon. The bowls and plates are nice and well made, but the new green makes them look duller than the originals. I will keep them (I especially like having the small fruit bowls), but I will not purchase any more Caleca items from amazon (too bad, because I was excited to find several pieces I would like to have). I just ordered and received several pieces from the other website and the color and logo on these pieces perfectly match the Calecas I've owned and enjoyed for many years. So buyer beware...if you are looking to supplement your dishes, you may be disappointed. If you are new to Caleca Pink Garland, I think you will be happy with your purchase -- they are still beautiful.

I love these bowls. I eat all of my meals out of them. They help me control my portions, they are very pretty, and they clean up nice. Dishwasher safe without fading.
