Famiware Milkyway Plates and Bowls Set of 12

A single dinner plate from this set sits heavy in the hand. The weight is a consequence of stoneware fired until the body vitrifies. Dense, non-absorbent, solid. That heft tells you what it is before you see the glaze. Ceramic that was once liquid clay, fired at temperature long enough to become this.

Fourteen pieces for twelve place settings gives you two extras. A salad bowl holds greens while the dinner plate carries the main. The extra bowls stand in for a missing piece or serve bread at the center. Three glazes are available, all speckled, all from the Milkyway collection. The set belongs on the dinner shelf but works for any meal that brings people to a table.
