Famiware Smoky Dinnerware Set for 4 and 8" Salad Plates for 6

What a photograph cannot tell you is how the stoneware feels in the hand: dense, cool, and heavier than you expect. The plate rings low when it meets the table, a sound that says it is solid. The glaze is a single deep smoky tone, uniform across the set. The rim is finished cleanly, smooth to the touch. The weight of the plate keeps it from sliding on the table when you cut.

In the box you get a dozen pieces that serve four, plus six salad plates for when the table gets bigger. The salad plate is a size that fits a side of greens or a slice of pie. The dinner plate has a well that holds a sauce without pooling at the rim. The set works for weeknights and for Sunday dinners with extra guests.
