Famiware Stoneware Dinnerware Set for 8, Black Coffee

A dinner for eight is a full table. The plates stack on the sideboard, the bowls come out for soup or salad, and the meal moves from course to course without a pause. This set gives you eight of each: dinner plates, salad plates, and bowls. Stoneware, dense and heavy, that holds heat.

The weight is the first thing you notice. A stoneware dinner plate is heavy in the hand, and the stack of eight is a load. The pieces are dishwasher and microwave safe, but they chip at the rim if knocked, and the chip shows pale clay. That is the trade-off for a material that does not absorb flavors or stains.
