Famiware Star Stoneware Dinnerware Set of 6

The box holds 18 pieces: dinner plates, salad plates, and bowls for six. The stoneware is dense and the glaze is a double reactive finish, available in seven colors. This set covers the table from a weeknight dinner to a Sunday roast, with enough pieces to keep the course changes smooth.

Weight is the trade-off. These plates are heavy in the hand, and the rims chip if you’re careless. Stack them two high at most. The unglazed foot ring will mark the plate below. Dishwasher and microwave safe, the pack says, so you can use them every day.
