Famiware Star 8" Salad Plates Set of 6 and 4oz Dipping Bowl Set of 6

An 8-inch plate is narrower than a dinner plate and shallower than a bowl. It is the size you reach for when a meal does not need a full service. Six plates, each the same heavy stoneware, with the wide rim and the shallow well that holds a dressing or a sauce.

The dipping bowls are 4 ounces each, small enough for a spoonful of chutney or a dollop of mustard. Six of them, one for every plate. They sit beside the plate without crowding it. In the hand they feel dense and cool, the same stoneware as the plates.
