Famiware Star Stoneware Dinnerware Sets with Pasta Bowls, 24-piece

The heft of a Star dinner plate is the first thing a photograph cannot tell you. Stoneware fired to vitrification is dense and non-absorbent, so it sits solid in the hand and makes a clean ring when set down on a wooden table. The piece does not flex; it is firm and heavy in a way you feel before you see.

The plates stack evenly on their unglazed foot rings, and the pasta bowls nest inside one another without sticking. Both stack two high comfortably. A stack of two plates is low enough to fit on a cabinet shelf without crowding the shelf above, and the stack stays steady. The bowls stack two high as well, each sitting securely inside the next.
