vancasso Stern Green Dinner Set- Square Reactive Glaze Dish Set- 16 Pieces Kitchen Dinnerware Stoneware Crockery with Dinner Plate, Dessert Plates, Bowl and Soup Plate Service for 4

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this gorgeous plate set! They are even better looking in person than the picture in the ad shows. You can fit a lot more food on the plates since they are square and they take up the same amount of room in a cabinet as round ones do. The bowls fit on the dinner plates so you can have soup and salad or a sandwich or chips and dip VERY easily. The little round sauce bowls work well with this set too on even the lunch plates. The coating is so well coated that cleanup is a breeze! They fit particularly well in the dishwasher. These are top quality. I'm so impressed. I bought more sets to have service for 12. They all fit in my cabinets very well. I chose these because of the gorgeous deep blue color which does not disappoint. By the way, I have Fibromyalgia and Carpal Tunnel and these are very easy to grip and wield. My tip: when putting a bowl on the plate, put a potholder or cloth under it to keep it from sliding and you are good to go. If any dishes break, which most did not, the seller is VERY easy to work with and more than willing to replace. What more could you ask for?

I was impressed when I got my box and a plate and a bowl were broken. Company said not to contact them unless you bought directly from them. Amazon had replacement for me very quickly without headaches. I love the color and that they are square.

Such a beautiful set and we are looking forward to using it. I have 1 broken bowl that needs to be replaced. Overall we are happy with our purchase.

I've had these dishes for a year and I like them. I use them daily and they have held up to a husband, two kids, and repeated dishwasher use. There's no fading of the color, no cracking, or chipping. They are heavy than other plates of lower quality. They are a nice size although I wish the bowls were a bit deeper rather than wide, but that's just a preference thing.There are two "faults" with these though. They are microwave safe, but dear god in heaven they get as hot as molten lava even in areas where there's no food. This happens with just making instant oatmeal for less than 1 minute. The bowl or plate are so hot, they cause burns. My 'cheap' Walmart dishes did not do that. Secondly, there's a small raised square on the bottom of both the dinner and salad plates which cause the plates to not sit evenly and they rock which makes a VERY annoying clanging sound. I thought it was our dinner table which is wooden and old, but it also happens on brand new quartz countertops, so it's definitely the plate. I consider this a design flaw because I can't see any reason for this to be there but must have something to do with the mold.Other than those two things, I have no complaints. They are an overall good value for the money and I would recommend.

These plates are heavy, well made, and absolutely beautiful! They color looks exactly as it did on here and I love that each piece is a little different. I would absolutely recommend purchasing these dishes.

I have ordered this set three times and three times it was broken. The manufacturer puts all the padding on top but almost no padding on the bottom, so the small bowls on the bottom always break. Then Amazon packs this small box in a much larger box with no padding at all. See other reviews reporting the exact same thing. The original box says fragile but the Amazon box does not. Your chances of getting an unbroken set are practically none.Also they are much darker than pictured. If you want to see the grey color in the pictures, you would have to have glaringly bright light. In average light they look nearly black.Bought a set lusted as used like new from A resale. I got four broken bowls and three irregular (spotted) plates. They are hefty and fragile. Awful lot of money for big disappointment. And they will not replace broken pieces when you buy them as a resale.So I bought another set as new. This time one bowl arrived broken. Vendor sent a replacement that looked nothing like all the others. I ordered a replacement and two bowls broken. In order to get a complete unbroken set, I would have to buy another whole set, hope that's not broken, then have to deal with returning this very heavy box. So proceed with caution. As other reviews state, they are more likely to arrive broken, and are likely to break later under normal use. Do yourself a favor, buy something else

3 small bowl were broken tryed to contact 3 different times with no response. But they are beautiful

I got this for a gift. When I opened it one was chipped. I didn’t replace it because it was pass due. I know they would have replaced it, but overall it’s a great set. They are a little heavy according to my 11 year old, but very well put together. They wash very nicely too.
