Stone Lain by Mercer Oval Stoneware 16-Piece Dinnerware Set, Light Grey

We love our new dish set! Each piece is well made. We like the high walls on the plates. It helps to keep food on the plate. The wash well. We love the stone age appearance about them. We ordered the black, which is more like a dark gray, but that was fine with us. My only complaint is that I received a lightning deal alert on the set just before Black Friday. I took advantage of the deal. A few days later, on Black Friday, the price dropped below what I paid a few days prior. That kinda pisses me off, but it is what it is. Otherwise, these are excellent dishes!

Constant compliments all the time on these. I love the uniqueness of the shape, they are good quality and stylish. Easy to clean and they work week. Heavy and great quality. My favorite plates ever. I ordered 2 large sets.

Love everything about these!

We enjoy this brand and this style. Plates are sturdy. Just don't drop from high up like i did. They do scratch up lightly so need to keep in light use of bar keepers friends to take our scratches from attacking in cupboards. Hold up well after use in microwave and dishwasher. Food rinse off easily. Bought multiple sets and styles

Everything was as expected, including texture, tone, shape, and size.

I was looking for unique stoneware dishes and came across these. While they do look nice, they're completely impractical. Every scrape of silverware shows on the plates. It feels weird to eat out of an oblong bowl. The cups, however, are nice. These are very well made and I haven't broken a single piece since I purchased them and it's a little disappointing because I kind of hate them and would prefer normal dishes now.

I ordered this 16-piece dinnerware set not knowing what to expect. I hadn't heard of the company Stone + Lain. The dishes are far above expectations in design, execution, packaging, heft, texture. First of all, the packaging was done with great care: each dinner plate, salad plate, soup/pasta bowl, and drinking glass (sort of a cross between a water glass and a mug) was individually wrapped, then boxed, then reinforced, then protected by extra cardboard. All arrived intact, no small thing considering their composition. The design is bold and modern, with appealing curves, the work of a well-known artist artist named Roy Nachum (though I had not heard of him). The bowls are deep enough for a good dish of pasta, not always the case with dinnerware these days. Aesthetically original and beautiful. The dark grey is texturally detailed so it is not one bleak opaque color. The glass/mugs are multi-purpose. The dishes are on the heavy side, but not uncomfortably so. They are microwave and dishwasher safe. The dark color may not be to everyone's taste but it presents a handsome backdrop for foodie creations. For a table of eight I would order another set in cream or beige and alternate the two. The company has a sense of whimsy: the bottom of each item has a saying or comment for no reason other than . . . because. Their motto is "Where dishes come true." What I won't know for several months is how susceptible these dishes are to chips and cracks. Hope not.

HAND WASH! I bought the nude color which they are beautiful! But the color fades in the dishwasher. I have to say sadly this wasn’t worth the price. And I wish I would’ve known not to put them in the dishwasher. I wanted to give a genuine review so I waited for wear and tear. And I wouldn’t recommend. I’m glad I didn’t waste money on two sets.
