Amazon.com Review
For a fresh alternative to flowers, fruit, and plain solids, Chocolate Mint dinnerware from the Corelle Livingware collection combines a retro palette with fun patterning. Each piece features a crisp white backdrop, set with borders of celadon, aqua, and chocolate squares drawn with whimsical lines. Trim lines in the same colors rim the bowls for a simple, balancing element. Crafted from durable stoneware, Chocolate Mint is a welcome departure from the common run of everyday dinnerware and can double as a casual entertaining set.

The place to start a Chocolate Mint collection, this set includes four place settings, each with a 10-3/4-inch dinner plate, a 6-3/4-inch bread and butter plate, an 18-ounce soup bowl, and an 11-ounce mug. With 16 pieces in all, the set is safe in the dishwasher, microwave, and oven for maximum convenience. --Emily Bedard

Customer Reviews

great stuff...
Okay, I decided to write a review about this particular design of Corelle because there was one flaw!!

The ACTUAL color of the designs on the plates are much lighter than pictured here. I thought this was a good mix of masculine and femanine (definitely refreshing compared to all the florals this company usually has) and was totally in love with the darker colors.

However, upon receiving these plates, the colors are really more pastel and "girly". The dark lines are a lighter brown- but look almost black in this picture. Mine also have a few 'mistakes' in the pattern- smudges and things. This could be due to the fact that this is a brand new design and all the kinks haven't been worked out yet.

So, if you get over the color issues these really are fantastic plates. I grew up with Corelle plates and was looking forever for a modern and fresh design. After about 12 years my mother decided to get rid of her/our set because she was sick of them! Not one plate broke. Even after being dropped and banged into things multiple times. So the plates outlived her desire to have them. They never scratch and are so functional and pratical that it is unbelievable. Just find a design you really like because you won't ever have to get rid of these! No chipping, no scarring, and they always look as if you just bought them. Even years and years later. Great for every day use especially in a family full of kids.

In the end I decided to keep the two sets of this design I ordered and it has grown on me. It is a great design, but would be better if the color was bolder as it is in the image here. I love the fact that this set came with mugs...but realize that they are stoneware and not the same material as the plates so they probably won't last as long. I wish they would offer luncheon plates in this design too!

great for everyday use!...
I really liked the design of this set. It has a fun and playful design which is great for everyday use. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because one of the sets, even though the same design was less bright then the rest. The greens and blues just weren't as brightly colored. More like they had some fading. Must be something that happened at the factory because from what I know, the colors will never fade. These were a great price too!

Love this set!...

I ordered 2 sets of these dishes and am very happy with the quality and style! Great price too. They arrived within a week, right before Thanksgiving. Corelle always stands the test of time and I am looking forward to getting tired of these dishes in the future.(so I can get a new set!)
