Café Stripe 16 Piece Coupe Dinnerware Set, Black

Bought this as a starter set for a kid just moving out. This ain’t porcelain fine dining china, but it is a cute pattern (the pink stripe one at least), it’s a nice weight, does well in the microwave - doesn’t get molten-lava hot like some cheap dishes, the bowls are a generous size for soup or cereal. So far after a few weeks’ use, they’ve been durable, no chips. I will say that two of the plates had a tiny speck of color outside of the design. It’s not noticeable at a glance, just if you look closely. Don’t let that stop you from ordering. I may order another set for my other kid. It’s a great value.

Heavy and well packed

This was one of three sets of dishes we tried out to replace the mismatched take-out food container set from my college days. Ahh growing up, who knew picking out dishware would be the highlight of a Friday night?!! Some thoughts:What we liked:- Beefy weight. These have a decent weight to them belying good solid construction. Not too much air trapped in the clay, which can weaken cheaper made types.- Crisp lines. The coloration was even and well applied, with no obvious defects or blemishes.- Simple design. Nothing too garish, no weird bumps or crenellations on the surfaces to catch cutlery or trap food bits.- Universal color match. These went with deep cranberry tablecloths as well as summer blue, no problem.- Dishwasher safe. Ran on 'High-temp, 1-hour, Pot Scrubber' with 2x the soap recommended and they came out pristine.- Microwave safe. Heated leftovers, coffee, and soup no problem.What we found lacking:- Somewhat shallow bowls. As seen in the pic, the bowls are more salad style than liquid. This made serving soup/chowder/chili difficult, and we eat a lot of liquid meals in the cold depth of winter.- Get very hot in the microwave. These soaked up a LOT of microwave heat, the most of the three sets I tested.- Packaging was very wasteful. They arrived safely, but that was due to a ton of waste cardboard, paper, plastic and tape.Overall we did not choose this set to keep (the soup bowls being too shallow being the deal breaker) but they are a very nice basic beginner set if you need functional ceramic eating ware.

such good quality and match my kitchen perfect

So, for what you pay, these are ok. I liked them well enough. They are more of a stonewear so break and chip more easily than say, corelle, but feel more substantial. It finally came to buy another set, and when they arrived, they did not match the set I previously bought. I bought the Light Blue both times, but from different sellers (other seller was out of stock). The new batch did seem a little funky like the glaze wasn't quite right with some of the color striping a little off center, so maybe it's an off batch. Only reason I'm not returning is because they are out of the color and I only wanted to add on to my previous set and I need the dishes. The "new" light blue is more like a blue-grey than the previous batch.

I've been searching for everyday dishes. These are perfect!!

Very pleased with the quality for the price

This is a brand that I am very familiar with, as I have two serving bowls from this company that I have been using for many years as good and water bowls. The have been so durable, so easy to clean and as attractive as the day I got them. When I saw tableware from the same brand I was very excited and the dishes arrived very well packed. There was a slip of paper right on top with contact information in case of a problem. The design is very simple and available in more than one color, this is the type of basic dish that will serve a family well, dish washer safe. The set is made in China has a generous size, easy to hold cup and the only thing I would change is to reduce the size of the dinner plate, it is a 10 inch plate and I find I tend to fill my plate, bad idea!

La hechura tiene sus detalles. personalmente esperaba un producto sin defectos, perfecto; pero las cintillas negras y un poco la cerámica tienen detalles, no deja de ser una bonita vajilla y elegante. 8/10, si me preguntan.

we ordered 3 sets (12 place settings). The dishes arrived on time and were very well packaged for shipment. There was no damage. Unfortunately although we liked the design a lot, the quality was not what we hoped for. There were several design misprints/gaps, several plates had a severe 'wave' and two of the bowls had annoying 'picks' on the inside. The vendor vendor included instructions about dealing with defects. They ask that pics be sent to them and they would ship replacements. We did that but were then informed they do not ship replacements to Canada. They recommended we return and reorder. We returned, but chose not to take the chance on reordering.
