Famiware Porcelain Dinnerware Sets for 4

A photograph shows you what porcelain looks like. It cannot tell you how much lighter it is in the hand than a stoneware plate of the same size, or the ring it makes when you set it down on a wooden table. Porcelain fires to a finer, denser body, and that changes how a plate sounds and how it balances on your palm.

Sixteen pieces for four places. The dinner plates sit flat, the bowls have a clean rim that a spoon meets without clatter. The set stacks compact, and because the glaze is uniform rather than reactive, every plate in the box matches the next. Dishwasher and microwave safe, the pack states, and the body holds heat well enough that food stays warm through a second helping.
