Famiware Star Stoneware Dinnerware Sets, for 4

Pick up a dinner plate from this set. The weight in your hand is not incidental. Stoneware fired to vitrification is dense and heavy, and that density steadies the plate under a full serving. The embossed pattern adds a texture you can feel and a surface that catches the light differently with each angle.

The unglazed foot ring holds the plate in place without sliding. The raised pattern gives your fingers a secure grip when carrying a full plate. The set is dishwasher and microwave safe, as the pack says, so it moves easily from cooking to cleanup. The unglazed ring will leave a mark on a plate stacked directly beneath, a natural consequence of the firing process.
