Know before you buy
The set provides a complete service for eight, including dinner plates, salad plates, soup/cereal bowls, and mugs. It also includes essential serveware pieces, specifically a large 64-ounce serving bowl and a 14.25-inch platter.
Because the set features a reactive glaze, each piece will have distinct color and pattern variations. This artisanal process ensures that no two pieces are identical, giving your table a unique, handcrafted aesthetic.
Yes, the stoneware is both microwave and dishwasher safe. While durable, we recommend loading the dishwasher carefully to prevent chipping, as with any stoneware dinnerware.
Stoneware is naturally denser and heavier than porcelain or bone china. While this provides a sturdy, high-quality feel, you may notice the plates and bowls have more weight than standard lightweight ceramic sets.
The crackle design is sealed beneath the glaze, meaning the surface remains smooth to the touch. It does not trap food or require special cleaning methods, making it just as easy to maintain as solid-colored dinnerware.
