Famiware Jupiter Stoneware Dinnerware Sets, Vanilla White

This set goes into the microwave and the dishwasher without a second thought. That is the honest test of a daily table: reheating leftovers and loading the rack are not worries here. The stoneware is dense, heavy, and fired until the body vitrifies, so it holds heat well and does not absorb moisture from the wash.

The rim will chip if you knock it against the sink. That is the nature of vitrified stoneware: hard, dense, and brittle at the edge. Keep the stack to two pieces high so the unglazed foot ring of the plate above does not mark the glaze below. It is a table set made to be used every day, not stored away.
