Famiware Ocean Dinner Plates Set of 6

The Ocean dinner plate is a coupe shape: shallow, with no rim to trap sauce or edge to push food against. At 10.25 inches across, it is a wide, clean circle that holds a full meal without crowding the plate. The surface is a smooth field where a main, a vegetable, and a starch sit next to one another rather than stacked.

Six plates serve a table of six, or a household through a week of weeknight dinners. The stoneware is dense and heavy in the hand, and it rings when set down on a wooden table. It will chip at the rim over time, showing pale clay beneath the glaze. The dishwasher cycle and microwave leave the surface unchanged, the pack says.
