Gibson Elite Althea 16 Piece Reactive Glaze Dinnerware, Multicolor -, Service for 4 (16pcs), Red

This truly is a beautiful set of dishes. Almost like pieces of art. Looks aren't the only thing I like though. I really like the weight, they are not too heavy. The mugs are good size and feel like great quality. So far I am 100% happy with these dishes.

Oh WOWZA! What an absolutely beautiful set of dinnerware. I honestly did not expect such a well constructed set. All of the dinnerware is solid, not a crack, consistent in pattern and it is absolutely stunning. I am extremely pleased with it. I have to see if there are serving plates, sugar, creamer available as well. It’s downright beautiful! I was a bit concerned when it was delivered because the package was placed on its side. I thought for sure it would be cracked or something broken, to my surprise, it was double boxed, and between each plate and bowl it had corrugated cardboard separators, each cup also was surrounded with it. KUDOS to the manufacturer. I absolutely love it!

Like the dishes, they are nice sized and I like the design. Looks exactly the same is in the pictures. They do get a little hot when microwaved that could be a problem in the future. But the cups are large, the bowls and plates are nice size.

The colors on this set are rich and deep -- absolutely beautiful! We were pleasantly surprised that the bowls and mugs are nice and large -- not the usual little 8oz things that come with dish sets, these are a good 16oz size. We were also pleased to see that the back side of the plates are the same lovely reddish-brown color as the bowls (see uploaded pictures). The only caution I would give is that the surface of the plates and the exterior of the mugs is not a light beige like what is shown in Amazon's product picture. The true color is more like taupe (shown in my uploaded pictures). I'd still recommend this set. We are fully satisfied, and the dishes look absolutely beautiful. I'm a little nervous about the other reviews that say that the plates and mug handles cracked or broke after dishwashing. I'll keep an eye out for that and will update this review if we have the same problem. Update on 3/4/19: The dishes have held up really well with daily use & regular dishwasher cleanings. The handles have broken off of 2 of the mugs, but I'm still so happy with the set that I'd rather just purchase an extra one to use for replacements or epoxy the handles back on.

The Gibson Elite Tequesta Square Reactive Glaze Stoneware Dinnerware Set is a stunning addition to my dining table. After using it for a few weeks, here’s what I think: **1. Gorgeous Design:** The first thing that caught my eye was the beautiful reactive glaze finish. The taupe color is elegant and versatile, complementing various table settings. Each piece has a unique, slightly varied pattern due to the reactive glaze, giving the set a handcrafted, artisanal feel. The square shape also adds a modern touch that I love. **2. Sturdy and Durable:** The stoneware is solid and feels durable. The dishes have a nice weight to them, which makes them feel high-quality. They’ve held up well in both the microwave and dishwasher without any signs of chipping or fading, which is a big plus for everyday use. **3. Perfect for Everyday and Special Occasions:** This set is versatile enough for both casual meals and more formal dinners. The size of the plates and bowls is just right, accommodating generous portions without being too bulky. The mugs are also a good size, perfect for morning coffee or tea. **4. Minor Issues:** While I’m overall very pleased, there are a couple of minor issues. The plates are slightly large, which can make them tricky to fit in smaller cabinets or dishwashers. Additionally, the glaze, while beautiful, can be prone to showing utensil marks after a few uses. These marks aren’t too noticeable, but they’re something to be aware of. **Final Thoughts:** The Gibson Elite Tequesta Square Reactive Glaze Stoneware Dinnerware Set is a lovely and functional set that has enhanced my dining experience. The design is stunning, and the pieces are well-made, though there are a few minor drawbacks. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a stylish and durable dinnerware set.

Love these dishes. They are beautiful and the plates are very large.

These are beautiful. Was looking for something unique and fun. And these met both. They came packaged well. All were intact. Love the style. Used in microwave and no problems. I would say medium thickness. I ordered one set and ended up ordering a second

Dinner plates are a bit large but the whole set is colorful and tasteful, as well as sturdy. Good quality!

Excelente vajilla, muy bonita, siempre que tengo visitas me preguntan donde las compre

Beautiful set of dinnerware and nicely wrapped. Recommend

Great 👍

Pięknie wykonana ,dobrze zapakowana zastawa. Bardzo polecam bo kolory rzeczywistości jeszcze ładniejsze.

Not oven safe though it's misleading the customer with their sticker at the bottom(See photo) very disappointing, the plate broke at 180c in the oven when I put it inside to try & bake something small.Lovely design & sizes of the plates are good.Can use in microwave oven but the false claim on oven safe was not reasonable.
