Zenora 12pcs Japanese Floral Embossed Ceramic Dinnerware Set

I am not the best photographer sorry about the picture. These dishes are stoneware which is usually heavy. I am in my '60s and have problems with my hands so I was a little leery about purchasing them. I can tell you they are not heavy like the old stoneware they are beautiful. I couldn't find this particular set in seating for six so I purchased two orders now I have an amazing set of dishware and I can't wait to invite the family over for dinner. I would recommend this dishware for anyone who likes the stability and durability of stoneware but hesitating due to the weight of stoneware.Don't be afraid of this set. I believe you'll enjoy this set for many years to come I hope this helps someone

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Beautiful and durableThe Gibson Elite Mayfair Bay Stoneware is both gorgeous and well-made. The colors are rich and vibrant. The pieces feel solid and sturdy.

I do love this set of dinnerware, but do have a word of caution if you plan on purchasing multiple sets. If you want multiple sets, you really should order them all at once. I first ordered 2 sets of service for 4 place settings of the “Gibson Elite Green Lantern Service for 4 (16 Piece) Double Bowl Dinnerware Set, Teal, Soft Gray, Dinnerware Set”. The first 2 sets arrived together very well packed in boxes with lovely color graphics on the boxes. I liked the dishes so much that I wanted to buy an extra set of 4 place settings, so I would have 12 of each in case some broke in the future. This third box came packed very well packed in a plain cardboard box, no color pictures, just information stamped on the box. It seemed that the third set was made in a different factory. The color of the bottom of the dinnerware of the third set is a lighter color (dark green) and the bottom of the first 2 sets is almost black. See photo of them stacked in the dishwasher for comparison. The color of tops of the dinnerware from all 3 sets are the same. I didn’t bother sending them back the third set because they are basically for backup. The dishes are very well packed for shipping (we live in a rural area, bumpy dirt roads, so I was impressed that no dishes arrived broken). Also, depending on your dishwasher, the dishes do take up more room in the dishwasher, but I’m okay with that. We’ve been using them for a month and no cut marks so far. As other people mentioned, they do get hot in the microwave, but that’s not un-manageable and food does look beautiful on them.

I ordered the blue set of these Gibson Elite Mayfair Bay dinnerware set because of the beautiful color depicted in the on-line photos (ie. a lovely aqua blue. But, as many of the other reviewers warned, they are NOT that color. They aren't even close to an aqua, teal or turquoise shade. They are a darker shade. More of a pretty lake blue. That said, they arrived on time, were very well packaged and appeared to be of excellent quality. So, although I had to send them back due to the color being so off from what I needed. I would recommend these for anyone simply wanting a beautiful blue dinnerware set vs. seeking the specific depicted in the photos. Also, In don't plan to include a photo with this review because, as we have determined, photos can be very misleading.

Beautiful dishes. Pretty color, nice sheen, and good quality. Great for a tropical, beachy location!
