Stone Lain Albie Stoneware 16-Piece Modern Dinnerware Set, Kitchen Plates and Bowls Sets, Dish Set for 4, Red and Black

Aesthetically pleasing
sturdy plates and mugs nicely designed. Very aesthetically pleasing to the eye.Product came with a few of the plates broken, reached out to the company and they sent me a replacement in a timely manner.

Good looking, durable, and useful plates, bowls, and coffee mugs.
I got my set yesterday. It was well packed, sent in 2 boxes which was nice because these dishes are heavy. I did not have to carry a whole set of dishes for 8 people all at once.Looks like each box has the same thing, half in one and half in the other. I only opened one box for now since I am going to figure out what to do with my old mismatched set and wash all the new ones in the dishwasher at once. Yes, they say dishwasher safe and microwave safe on the bottom of each piece which was one of the things I demanded from my new set.There are 8 lipped dinner plates, 8 well lipped salad plates, 8 nice deep bowls, and 8 nice feeling solid coffee cups. The high lips on the plates looks pleasing but the main reason I like them is because any gravy or liquid stays in them instead of running out easily when transported. I’d say the lip is at a 70 degree angle and is maybe half an inch high. They don’t have that flat gradual increasing long lip that the majority of plates tend to have. I guess this makes them look more modern if that makes sense.They are heavy, but not too heavy and comfortable to handle. I’ve held plates before that were so heavy, they felt odd and others so light they could be a makeshift frisbee. These are “goldilocks” weight in my opinion.The bowls are my favorite piece. The pretty bowls we have been using hold maybe half a cup to a cup of liquid if you are careful not to spill. The bowls that came with this new set are deep! If you eat soup often or are a cereal and milk person you will love the depth. Even an icecream sundae for 2 would fit in these bowls.The pieces look nice and don’t have any cracks in the glaze or strange looking areas that didn’t dry or cure properly. They are fully coated with paint/glaze except for the bottom ring that touches the table surface giving it texture so it resists sliding around on surfaces. The only downside I can see is something I had to think deeply about in order to come up with: That textured ring on the base may scratch tables without a protective finish. If you inherited your grandma’s antique table or have a table that scratches easily, invest in some placemats or use a tablecloth or a glass table protector. They are heavy enough to stay put under normal use, but if you have kids who scoot plates around the table, be aware. Kids will find a way to demolish, scratch, or tear up anything anyway nomatter what it is. This is no concern for me though, but just an opinion for anybody who may come across this potential issue. Beaides, many plates or bowls etc. have some texture anyway, but since these are “stoneware” the texture may be more pronounced due to the durability of them.Durability is a good thing!Also a potential issue which comes with any dense well made plate is the heat retention after the piece comes out of the microwave or drying cycle of the dishwasher. I have had good results with stoneware in the past though, so no biggie if this happens. Let it cool or use a pot holder after microwaving. I like that food will stay somewhat warm when plated or in a bowl and the lips look thin enough that they will cool down while the bottom which is thicker should keep food from cooling down quickly. So I guess that is a positive with a potential negative if that makes sense.So I think that’s all I can think of to speak about except that the pieces look nice and the blue paint/glaze is pretty uniform and seems tough and I like it. They are not shiny like many glazed pieces can be which, I like. Looks like the finish will hold up to heat from the microwave or dishwasher without getting those fine cracks in the glaze or final paint cover.These are durable, useful, attractive, well painted, and just well made pieces.I will update this after more usage after I put the pieces through the microwave and dishwasher a few times. If I don’t update this, then all is good and I had no issues.

Great quality but very very light color

Compré la vajilla para uso diario, tiene bonito color, pero se raya muy fácilmente (con dos usos del plato ya tiene una marca), tiene algunos defectos de fabricación, la taza se rayó al primer uso y tiene unos detalles. El precio es muy elevado para lo que se obtiene, no recomiendo el producto
