10 Strawberry Street 10.5" Catering Round Dinner Plate, Set of 12, White

Good quality product

Wanted some new everyday dinner plates in white. These fit the bill. Nice and big and the white is easy to make a nice presentation of the meal. One plate was broken on arrival but it was to much work to bother reporting that to the company. I would buy them again. They have stood up with the dishwasher and also my husband loves to hand wash dishes but is not real careful so far he hasn’t broken any even though he dropped a few now and then. Good price when I need to replace some.

These are slightly off white dinner plates without any embellishments. Some of the plates have minor imperfections where the glaze is thicker in some areas, or the edge of the plate is slightly "warped" which is noticeable only when stacked. These are expected variations in ceramic products at this price point. They are about one third the price of similar plates at pottery barn. The label on the bottom of the plate is part of the glaze and has slight imprinted or embossed (can't tell which) feel. It is not a sticker. The plates were packed with recyclable cardboard between each (not bubble wrap) and arrived without any breaks or chips. Pros: - Microwave, dishwasher, and conventional oven safe (which is surprisingly useful). - Deeper than some ceramic/glass dollar store dinnerware (less chance of spilling sauces) - Inexpensive enough that breakage shouldn't ruin an event. Cons - Ceramic is not impact resistant while other materials like melamine/plastics can take more abuse Melamine is frequently seen in the dollar stores and isles of shame in lidl/aldi. These are neither microwave nor oven safe. The only advantage of the melamine is that it usually won't break if dropped, and some have cute designs that are OK for cold/dessert use.

I purchased these dishes for a dinner party. I didn’t want to wash china dishes but didn’t want paper plates. These dishes were the perfect size and looked expensive
