Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
Pure white dinnerware is classic, spotless, and sophisticated. Corelle's Enhancements pattern features sculpted rims and surfaces, giving the understated pieces a lively texture. Coordinate this set with other pieces from the Enhancements pattern, or let it stand on its own. With service for four, this 20-piece set includes four place settings, each with a 10-1/4-inch dinner plate, 7-1/8-inch salad or dessert plate, 18-ounce soup or cereal bowl, 6-inch saucer, and 9-ounce mug. And since this dinnerware set is from Corelle, it's not merely attractive. It's also highly functional.

Famous for its ultra durable, chip- and break-resistant dinnerware, Corelle thermally bonds three layers of glass together to produce unparalleled strength in its dishes. Because of this process, the dinnerware set is tough enough to use for reheating food in conventional, convection or microwave ovens. The set is also safe to use in the dishwasher and comes backed by Corelle Livingware's three-year warranty. --Betsy Herring

Customer Reviews

Love the set, except......
Corelle's renowned durability of their product ultimately influenced my decision of purchasing this set. I wanted something simple but not overly boring; so I decided on the Enhancements design. I like the simplicity of the pattern around the border that adds a certain elegance to the white coloration. My only disappointment is that the cups from their stoneware line, which aren't as "white" in color as the rest of the set. Unfortunately, the stoneware is easily breakable and "chip-able," unlike the typical Corelle's product. Hence, it earned the 4 stars instead of 5.

Wish the Cups Were Really Corelle
I bought this set to "extend" a patterned Enhancements set I have that is no longer available. The plates and bowls match exactly as to shape, style, and material. However, the cups, while the "look" is the same, are stonewear instead of Corelle material; they are heavier and thicker, and the color is not as white as the rest of the dishes. It doesn't say that anywhere in the product description that I read.

Good Dishes
I just ordered these dishes and have been using them for about a week and a half. They are definitely better looking than your typical Corelle dish but still have the resistance to chipping and stack very nicely. I fit the dinner plates, salad plates and bowls all on one shelf in my cabinet which was wonderful!

The mugs are made of stoneware and not the typical Corelle material which is a little annoying since it makes them a different color than everything else (including their saucers). Also, I ordered the tea pot and cream and sugar bowl and they are also the stoneware. While it isn't a big deal, I really wish the mugs were made of the same material as to my eye the coloring is noticibly different.

That said, I would still buy these dishes again. I like the simple, plain white styling and how compactly they fit together for the cabinet.
