This hocking lace design (especially for the dessert bow) looks like little hearts. It's so lovely and delicate. The inside of the bowl's lid does have a chip, but it is not visible from the outside. The plates are 8 inches in diameter. The diameter of the bowl with the lace design is 7 inches, and without is 5 inches. With the lid on the bowl stands 7 inches tall. This is a beautiful set!
