To get to the point, I was very disappointed with this item. I've been battling with weight issues ever since I was a little girl and so I recently thought that portioning the food out would help in the battle. Although the item arrived on time and in mint condition, the plate became a nightmare to handle with trying to wash it and it cracked in less than two weeks. Now the plate is somewhere collecting dust in one of my cabinets and I turn to it in desperate situations when intake of food may be too much at a meal with my family. Excitement for this plate turned to massive disappointment!
