An assortment of brightly colored polka dots decorates the set's plates and mugs, jumping out from a stark white backdrop. The dishes not only feature modern artistry, but also modern construction for durability through years of heavy use. With service for four, each setting includes a 10-3/4-inch dinner plate, a 6-3/4-inch bread-and-butter plate, an 18-ounce soup or cereal bowl, and an 11-ounce stoneware mug.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To construct Livingware tableware, Corelle thermally compresses three layers of glass, producing a vitrelle glass composition that is lighter than other dishware, but more durable than conventional glass. The tableware resists cracks and chips with great success, while the lamination compression process combats stains, scratches, and fading. The user-friendly plates and bowls are dishwasher- and microwave- safe and warm food in conventional ovens up to 350 degrees F. The mugs, however, find safe use in the microwave only. For the best care, avoid soaking stoneware mugs for prolonged periods of time. Corelle discourages the use of abrasives or scouring on these pieces. Users benefit from the three-year limited warranty against vitrelle breaks and chips. This set weighs 10.9 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's In the Box&lt;br /&gt;4 place settings.

They still looked ok but wanted something colorful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looked through all the patterns available on Amazon and fell in love at first glance with the Hot Dots pattern.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beautiful and vibrant colors, durable and easy to clean.&lt;br /&gt;I love them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please note the mugs are stoneware, a nice weight and size.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fun dots, add a nice bright touch to my day...&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5UHtIdsGoI/AAAAAAAAAO8/II34D8V-lFA/s1600-h/star50_tpng.png"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 56px; height: 11px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5UHtIdsGoI/AAAAAAAAAO8/II34D8V-lFA/s320/star50_tpng.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446267796321999490" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ordered 2 of these sets. I did not want the mugs but they come standard anyway. I love the bright fun colors, they are just right for every day dining. I like the slightly smaller than average side plates too. For every day dinner I don't use side plates and they come in really handy for serving appetizers etc. The Corelle quality is unbeatable as ever, no scratch marks, does not chip and looks light and elegant.

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's in the Box:&lt;br /&gt;4 place settings.

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;great for everyday use!...&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5UE4VBc0lI/AAAAAAAAAOU/jh51W-C9jtk/s1600-h/star40_tpng.png"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 56px; height: 11px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5UE4VBc0lI/AAAAAAAAAOU/jh51W-C9jtk/s320/star40_tpng.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446264690136896082" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.

Like the woven fabrics that inspired it, this 16-piece dinnerware set creates a richly textured and cheerful backdrop for a Southwest-inspired menu or any table needing a bright boost. The four hand-painted place settings are generously sized and coordinate playfully: a 12-inch dinner plate ringed with colorful stripes, a 9-inch salad plate featuring a blue center and contemporary southwest motif, a bright striped 28-ounce soup/cereal bowl, and a colorful 16-ounce mug with a wide blue handle. Made of durable stoneware, they are safe for the oven, microwave, freezer, and dishwasher. Pfaltzgraff offers a five-year warranty against defects and guarantees to supply basic dinnerware in registered patterns for five years after the pattern is retired. Pieces may be replaced individually. --Kara Karll&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's in the Box&lt;br /&gt;4 place settings.

We really like them except for two problems. As previously stated the dinner plate is oversized and I had to make some modifications to make them fit in our cabinets. Also, they don't fit our dishwasher very well. We end up using the salad plates which are almost as big as a normal dinner plate. My biggest complaint is that these dishes are NOT microwave safe. Three minutes on high and you'd BETTER use a potholder. Don't even think about making a cup of coffee or tea, you'll end up with a blister!

The handsome pieces feature multiple layers of thermally bonded, hub-laminated glass for chip- and crack-free quality even under rigorous use. Furthermore, their lightweight, stackable design offers space-saving storage in cupboards, drawers, or hutches. Great for family meals and casual gatherings, the pieces also layer beautifully together and with complementary table linens and flatware to create a truly fine dining experience. Best of all, the microwave- and dishwasher-safe dishes can also warm foods in conventional ovens up to 350 degrees F, which means less time spent in the kitchen and more time to enjoy with family and friends. Available in a variety of unique and tasteful patterns, the Sandstone collection sports a calm, solid-beige color scheme and includes four place settings consisting of a 10-1/4-inch dinner plate, a 6-3/4-inch bread-and-butter plate, an 18-ounce soup/cereal bowl, and an 11-ounce mug.

From the picture, I expected them to be a slightly darker shade of beige, but am happy to report the color matches the background color of many other Corelle patterns... not quite white, not quite beige. The solid color is elegant and neutral -- the better to show off culinary delights, or perhaps a beautiful tablecloth or centerpiece.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After half a century of living, the little things mean a lot to me. I appreciate Corelle's durability, reasonable price, ease of cleaning and forgiving properties. It also stacks nicely in a minimum of space, unlike heavy stoneware pieces. If a piece does eventually get broken it's not a big deal.... after all, I've never had a piece break during the first four or five years of use and I'm the Queen of Klutziness. I've found Corelle dinnerware to be very lightweight (a plus for those of us with arthritis) and forgiving (a plus for those of us who are dexterity-challenged) and extremely durable (a real plus during the "hurricane hour" before work and school, or when the kids gather at our house for a snack). I can stack three sets (12 place settings) in a minimum of cabinet space, and it's a breeze to load them in the dishwasher because they are very lightweight. I really like the mugs that come with this set, as they are heavier and the coffee stays hot longer than with some mugs. I have noticed in the past that the Corelle mugs have outlasted every other mug we purchased.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did consider buying chinaware this time around.... for about a minute. I have seen so many "fine china" (partial) sets over the years -- usually covered with scratches and stains, sporting chips, nicks and flea bites. I suppose someone felt they couldn't throw them away because they were so expensive and "valuable." It amazes me that some people would spend up to several hundred dollars for china dinnerware... in fact, up to several hundered dollars per place setting. Yes, way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luxury comes in degrees, and is all relative. To most people in this world, Corelle dinnerware would likely seem quite luxurious, and I feel blessed to be able to afford it, and I'm thankful for the freedom and value it provides me, and the cleanup time it saves me every day, 365 days a year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Great Mugs &amp;amp; Lovely Dishes...&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5UCLGfSXJI/AAAAAAAAANM/E9e6IvdTv8Y/s1600-h/star50_tpng.png"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 56px; height: 11px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5UCLGfSXJI/AAAAAAAAANM/E9e6IvdTv8Y/s320/star50_tpng.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446261714118139026" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My husband bought two sets of these the other day and I love them! With kids and ceramic tile, I've been stuck with melamine for more than 10 years. These are simple and classy and have a great mug. The color is beautiful and will go with any tablecloth or silverware I decide to put with it. The color may be the inspiration for new tile on the countertop. I've already bid on and won the serving platter and serving bowls. I'm waiting to see if I win 8 pasta/salad bowls and am considering bidding on a creamer and sugar and a butter dish.

The newer Corelle designs are really nice and a big improvement over what I remember. The "wine berries" lunch plates are prettier than the dinner plates, which seem sort of lopsided design-wise. Even so, this is an attractive pattern and the photo doesn't do it justice at all. The lunch plates are just right for a fried egg &amp;amp; toast or omelette, and the bowls a nice size for cereal. I didn't need mugs so just bought the plates and bowls. The background color and shapes are exactly like Corelle's basic "sandstone" pattern, so it should be easy to add to these over time.&lt;br /&gt;Updated update 6/09: I was noticing a lot of manufacturing defects in this and other Corelle patterns last year. The different colors apparently get stamped on one over the other but weren't always lined up right. Corelle was unavailable for awhile and is now back in stock, so I'm hoping these problems are fixed. In the meantime, I've been adding fruit bowls, bread &amp;amp; butter plates, etc., in Sandstone and all in all, couldn't be happier with these dishes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A wonderful product...&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5UAcoJP7FI/AAAAAAAAAMs/YDQDQ5iHgYI/s1600-h/star50_tpng.png"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 56px; height: 11px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5UAcoJP7FI/AAAAAAAAAMs/YDQDQ5iHgYI/s320/star50_tpng.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446259816187030610" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We live in Hawaii and it is difficult to find selection. I am always thankful that amazon delivers to us! I always use corelle as they do not chip and they are basic in appearance. The wine berries pattern has a splash of color that is just enough. They arrived in perfect condition.

They also stack easily so you can get a lot of dishes in a small space. I love the off-white color of this set. I think the bright-white sets look a little cheap - unless they are in the contemporary styles.

The true-to-life designs are based on original illustrations by Lenox artist Louise Le Luyer. A versatile set, the large bowl also may be used for serving a tossed salad, and the individual bowls work well for soup or stew. Like the matching dinnerware, the Butterfly Meadow bowls exhibit a scalloped rim and subtly fluted sides, setting a spring-fresh table that any nature lover will appreciate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lenox knows the value of carefree daily dinnerware, and makes these Butterfly Meadow bowls of white porcelain that is safe for heating foods in both a microwave and conventional oven, and cleans up with ease in the dishwasher. Lenox backs its products with a lifetime warranty, and will replace any unsatisfactory item or provide the customer a full refund. In addition, under its lifetime breakage replacement program, Lenox will replace any broken piece that is in stock at 50 percent off the current suggested retail price. --Ann Bieri&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Customer Reviews&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beautiful and Durable...&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5O2fzj0DaI/AAAAAAAAAJg/3XiuU6X7YgY/s1600-h/star50_tpng.png"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 56px; height: 11px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5O2fzj0DaI/AAAAAAAAAJg/3XiuU6X7YgY/s320/star50_tpng.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445897031953681826" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love all the butterfly meadow series.

The hand-painted collection layers together an assortment of romantic rustic motifs, from fleur-de-lis and polka dots to sunflowers and checkerboards to unfurling vines and ripe fruit. Sun-drenched shades of yellow, red, green and blue create a warm palette, while delicate banded borders and scalloped edges unite the set in a casually coordinated style. With or without the book, the pattern tells a story with fairytale charm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This 40-piece dinnerware set offers an abundant start to a full collection with service for eight. Each 5-piece place setting includes a 10-3/4-inch dinner plate, a 9-inch salad plate, a 28-ounce soup/cereal bowl, an 8-ounce dessert bowl, and a 14-ounce mug. Complete the look with the whimsical accessories or mix in pieces from the sister Pistoulet Blue series for an even richer medley of colors and patterns. Crafted of durable stoneware, the set is dishwasher-, oven-, freezer-, and microwave-safe. Pfaltzgraff offers a five-year warranty against defects and replaces pieces individually. --Kara Karll&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's in the Box&lt;br /&gt;8 place settings.

I love the colors! Much of their charm, to me, stems from the fact that they coordinate, but don't match. I have two sets - one blue and one red. They are so fun and happy looking. I ordered mine from another vendor, but they were packaged well, and arrived in great shape. It's only been a few weeks, but they are holding up well in the dishwasher and the microwave. I have owned Pfaltzgraff before, and these seem to live up to the name. No problems so far. If you want warm, happy dishes, you can't go wrong with Pistoulet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excellent choice for sturdy dinnerware with color &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5MXq2BRiTI/AAAAAAAAAJA/CQmAnplSr5I/s1600-h/star50_tpng.png"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 56px; height: 11px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5MXq2BRiTI/AAAAAAAAAJA/CQmAnplSr5I/s320/star50_tpng.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445722399243864370" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We hesitantly bought this Pflatzgraff pattern after a bad experience with the Pfaltzgraff Napoli Pfaltzgraff Napoli 16-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 4. We ordered from Amazon in case there was breakage like many reveiwers mentioned (besides the fact that we order everything from Amazon). The dishes arrived very well packed - in original Pflatzgraff packaging and then overpacked by Amazon - and all was in excellent order. For a few days we handled the dishes with kid gloves due to the Napoli experience but then fell into our normal routine of rushing through kitchen cleanup, throwing things into the dishwasher, clinking plates and bowls and cups along along the way...just normal everyday banging around (my 16 year old son loads and unloads the dishwasher so careful handling has gone out the door). I am very happy to report that these dishes are holding up very nicely - no chips or breakage, even with a few drops onto countertops and hardwood floors. The dishes have a very bright and cheerful pattern and are well made. I think they will hold up very well. They have gone through about 8 weeks of 3-times-a-day daily use and still look brand new. The dinner plate is average size, the bowls are deep and the cups are the right size for a good cup of coffee. The little dessert bowls are cute (if a man can use that word) and my wife loves to fill them with every kind of new dessert she can think of. I would prefer some of these desserts in the larger bowl myself but that has nothing to do with these dishes...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall, these dishes look good and are solidly sturdy for everyday use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Update: After almost 1 year of daily use (and abuse) I am happy to report still not a chip to be found. I am duly impressed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheerful, sunny dinnerware &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5MXq2BRiTI/AAAAAAAAAJA/CQmAnplSr5I/s1600-h/star50_tpng.png"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 56px; height: 11px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5MXq2BRiTI/AAAAAAAAAJA/CQmAnplSr5I/s320/star50_tpng.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445722399243864370" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ordered service for 8 and will probably leave half of them packed up for now.

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's in the Box&lt;br /&gt;4 place settings.

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wish the Cups Were Really Corelle &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5MV1NNfeRI/AAAAAAAAAIY/VmTRw1xkv9M/s1600-h/star30_tpng.png"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 56px; height: 11px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5MV1NNfeRI/AAAAAAAAAIY/VmTRw1xkv9M/s320/star30_tpng.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445720378244561170" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good Dishes &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5MVuU4kOaI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/cqYbiqQ-CXo/s1600-h/star40_tpng.png"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 56px; height: 11px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5MVuU4kOaI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/cqYbiqQ-CXo/s320/star40_tpng.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445720260045191586" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6069486659145296432-6675574552392454468?l=livingware.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livingware.blogspot.com/feeds/6675574552392454468/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livingware.blogspot.com/2010/03/corelle-livingware-enhancements-20.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6069486659145296432/posts/default/6675574552392454468'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6069486659145296432/posts/default/6675574552392454468'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livingware.blogspot.com/2010/03/corelle-livingware-enhancements-20.html' title=''/><author><name>Admin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08351814556532194079</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5MUqQROaHI/AAAAAAAAAH4/fdIV320gmVw/s72-c/315NJRBGD2L.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6069486659145296432.post-3662773468559479474</id><published>2010-03-06T18:43:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-04-03T00:59:36.971-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Corelle Livingware Winter Frost 16-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 4</title><content type='html'>Corelle Livingware Winter Frost 16-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 4&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000DASUA?tag=waterheater02-20&amp;amp;camp=0&amp;amp;creative=0&amp;amp;linkCode=as1&amp;amp;creativeASIN=B0000DASUA&amp;amp;adid=170QMT7QA4ZJDFM5WHYW&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

While Corelle doesn't recommend home tests, this casual 16-piece dinnerware set is still fairly indestructible and is a real asset for busy families. Livingware is easy to maintain as it's dishwasher-, microwave- and oven-safe and is never off-limits for small children to use and handle because of its light weight and durability.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The set is comprised of four 10-1/4-inch dinner plates, four 6-3/4-inch bread-and-butter plates, four 18-ounce bowls, and four 11-ounce mugs. Plates and bowls are all made of Corelle's signature material, Vitrelle, which is created from three layers of glass that are compressed under extreme heat and laminated for strength. On the other hand, the mugs in this set are crafted of Corelle's stoneware, which is actually breakable and has a heavier feel than Vitrelle. For diners who recall Corelle patterns as being decorated with rather cutesy floral and fruit patterns, this simple, pure white pattern is sure to appeal to their modern preferences. Livingware plates and bowls sport a relaxed and rimless coupe shape and are all stackable for more efficient storage. Corelle warrants this dinnerware pattern against cracks, chips, breakage, and staining for a full year from the date of purchase. --Cristina Vaamonde&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's in the Box&lt;br /&gt;4 dinnerware place settings. Each place setting consist of: 10-1/2-inch dinner plate, 6-3/4-inch bread-and-butter plate, 18-ounce bowl, 11-ounce mug. 16 pieces total.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Customer Reviews&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perfect product &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5MUNSMxe4I/AAAAAAAAAHo/nzCrk9o_noY/s1600-h/star50_tpng.png"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 56px; height: 11px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5MUNSMxe4I/AAAAAAAAAHo/nzCrk9o_noY/s320/star50_tpng.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445718592877329282" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It says a lot about a product like this when it's been continuously available since 1970. I've owned Corelle for most of the past 30 years. I recently bought a 17-piece set from Wal-Mart (same as this + a 1-quart serving bowl) for about $24 to replace some Corelle pieces that didn't match my Winter Frost pieces and to have more place settings. The mugs are cheap stoneware made in Thailand, not Corelle. They don't quite match the Corelle and they're going to the Goodwill along with the mismatched plates and bowls, but it was still a good deal for the rest of the set.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love Corelle. All Corelle looks as if it was stamped out of a sheet of white glass, which is a result of the way it's made. There are no "base rings" or loop handles (which is why there have never been any Corelle mugs). The design makes Corelle very easy to wash and dry. They're very thin, and they stack with virtually no extra space in between them so they use remarkably little cubbard space. A stack of ten dinner plates is only 2" high. Try that with those heavy stoneware plates that chip every time two of them bang together. They're microwave- and oven-safe (don't use on the stove or under the broiler). And they're still made in the US.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's as if Corelle was invented for large families with lots of kids. It's durable, so the kids won't be breaking it very easily (although it will break on ceramic tile or the concrete if the kids drop it while playing outside ;-). Second, you can easily put 8, 12, or even 16 place settings in any cabinet. If you have kids, you know why that's a good thing. Every time kids eat anything they have to use a clean dish, and they snack a lot, so they go through clean dishes at a frightening pace. With Corelle you can have a big supply of dishes without breaking the bank or using a lot of cabinet space.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another nice thing about Corelle is that you can use the plates to cover the bowls. The small plates that come in this set are the same diameter as the cereal bowls in this set. The 8.5" luncheon plates (sold separately) are the same diameter as the 1-quart serving bowls and the pasta bowls. The dinner plates in this set are the same diameter as the 2-quart serving bowls and the 9" deep dish pie plate (which makes a fabulous pasta bowl).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Winter Frost White looks simple, clean, and never goes out of style. Really, after using Corelle for nearly 30 years I don't have even a nit to pick with it. Get a bunch of it and enjoy the best designed dishes ever made. With any luck you'll still have them in 20 or 30 years, and don't be surprised if they still look new after that all time, especially if you go over them with Bon Ami once or twice a year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Corelle products used to be unbreakable, not anymore... &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5MUVZn7jUI/AAAAAAAAAHw/swHfuh2pLeg/s1600-h/star30_tpng.png"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 56px; height: 11px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5MUVZn7jUI/AAAAAAAAAHw/swHfuh2pLeg/s320/star30_tpng.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445718732309237058" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Got a 42 piece set of Livingware in winter frost white for xmas. The plates are nice and look great on a red tablecloth, though a few were slightly warped (you can see it when plates are stacked). However, that was not such a problem as the cups, which are of terrible quality! I did not use cups on xmas and first used them today. When I took the mugs out from a box one had a barely visible crack on a side, which I did not see until poured water into it and water started sipping through the crack. Called Corelle for warranty, and they do not warranty cups! So much for a 3 year warranty! On their site and on the box it says 3 year warranty with no asterisk or additional disclaimers, but in the care instructions! there is a fine print that cups are not covered. I used to like Corelle and thought they were a reputable company, but not anymore. They outsourced cup manufacturing to Thailand and now make them out of stoneware, which is pretty much like glass. So, if you think you are buying Corelle and it will not break, think again...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;corelle living ware winter frost set &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5MUNSMxe4I/AAAAAAAAAHo/nzCrk9o_noY/s1600-h/star50_tpng.png"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;

Showcasing wide bands and bold blocks of solid red that's just the right shade of sophisticated-chic on a crisp white base color, the design is sure to inspire all sorts of decorating ideas from simple silver and black accents to complementary-hued linens to a rainbow of color themes. This 16-piece dinnerware set includes four complete place settings, each with a 10-1/4-inch dinner plate, 6-3/4-inch bread and butter plate, 18-ounce soup/cereal bowl, and 11-ounce stoneware mug. The dinnerware's exceptional durability comes from Corelle's unique lamination process that thermally bonds three layers of glass, resulting in lightweight pieces that resist chips, breaks, and stains. The stoneware mug is also made for long-lasting durability with a simple, sturdy shape and a large handle. The set goes safely into the dishwasher, oven, and microwave and is backed by a three-year limited warranty. --Kara Karll&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's in the Box 4 place settings.

Corelle livingware is a great benefit for our active, and occassionally clumsy family. It doesn't break. I'm very pleased with both the product and the price. My only complaint is that I wish Corelle had included mugs made out of the same Corelle ware material, instead of stoneware mugs. The stoneware mugs are not easily stackable in the cupboard, and of course, they are breakable (though we haven't broken one yet).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Urban Red -Love It!! &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5HVTCRdlVI/AAAAAAAAAHI/8D1EYhJgiHs/s1600-h/star50_tpng.png"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;

The handsome pieces feature multiple layers of thermally bonded, hub-laminated glass for chip- and crack-free quality even under rigorous use, with food-safe, fired-enamel pigments that stand up to countless washings. Even more, their lightweight, stackable design offers space-saving storage in cupboards, drawers, or hutches. Great for family meals and casual gatherings, the pieces also layer beautifully together and with complementary table linens and flatware to create a truly fine dining experience. Best of all, the microwave- and dishwasher-safe dishes can also warm foods in conventional ovens up to 350 degrees F, which means less time spent in the kitchen and more time to enjoy with family and friends. Available in a variety of unique and tasteful patterns, the Geometric collection sports retro-inspired tan, celadon, and brown squares and includes four place settings consisting of a 10-1/4-inch dinner plate, a 6-3/4-inch bread-and-butter plate, an 18-ounce soup/cereal bowl, and an 11-ounce stoneware mug. The set carries a three-year limited break-and-chip warranty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's in the Box&lt;br /&gt;4 place settings.

(Being practical and not wanting to slop liquid all over the place, it's more like 12 oz. for the bowls and 10 oz. for the mugs.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pattern is done in a mocha brown, warm beige and cool celadon (a pale sea-green...I had to look that one up in the dictionary) on a bright white ground. And, all the dinnerware pieces have the pattern though, for some reason, the bowls are printed with only the mocha color.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The stoneware mugs are a vast improvement over the tiny teacups in the older sets. They are big enough for that java in the morning or a great cup of cocoa at night. My hubby appreciates the bigger handles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get a set or two of these in your hands for a cool 50s retro look.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love Correlle...&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5HSCbQ5KsI/AAAAAAAAAFw/Du1cc6bftBM/s1600-h/star50_tpng.png"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 56px; height: 11px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5HSCbQ5KsI/AAAAAAAAAFw/Du1cc6bftBM/s320/star50_tpng.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445364363587824322" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm a dish breaker so I love Corelle for that if nothing else but the Geometric pattern fits so perfectly with the decor of my home- I just love it. I would like to recommend that Amazon get a different picture to display with this product because eventhough I was smart enough to realize that a sixteen piece set would only include 4 of 4 types of items (Large plate, small plate, bowl and cup) but as I read other reviews it was pointed out that it was false advertising because the pcture shows 5 pieces but I hate to say it- common sense should have prevailed. But since it isn't as obvious to some changing that picture might be a good idea :-) Go ahead- order it you'll love it. FYI- the bowls only have one color squares (brown) but that is the main color for my theme so it worked out perfectly. Enjoy your dishes! And thanks to Amazon.com for offering this at such a great price (compare other sites and you'll see Amzon.com is a lower price).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Description / Item does not match photo on web site &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5HSKBbNCgI/AAAAAAAAAF4/IjHK5O4XVnw/s1600-h/star10_tpng.png"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 56px; height: 11px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5HSKBbNCgI/AAAAAAAAAF4/IjHK5O4XVnw/s320/star10_tpng.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445364494090701314" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The photo on the website shows 5 different pieces - the set only has 4.

A complete service for four, each service includes a 10-1/4-inch dinner plate, a 6-3/4-inch bread plate, an 18-ounce soup/cereal bowl, and an 11-ounce mug. The plates are white and ringed with squares of red, yellow, green, and blue, creating eye-catching bands of color on the rims. The color scheme is further emphasized by the white bowls, which have a single blue band around the rim, and the solid blue mugs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Made of Corelle's Vitrelle triple-layered glass, the pieces are safe for use in the microwave, oven, and dishwasher. The manufacturer warranty covers cracks, breaks, chips, or stains for three years from the date of purchase. Buy this as a stand-alone set or coordinate with other items from the Country Cottage pattern for a kitchen full of relaxing rural dreams. --Jeff Dalto&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's in the Box&lt;br /&gt;4 place settings. Each place setting consists of: dinner plate, bread plate, soup/cereal bowl, mug. 16 pieces total.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Customer Reviews&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like the pattern...but it is not as bright as pictured...&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5HQPq-OlbI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/LKU1Ero4SG4/s1600-h/star20_tpng.png"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 56px; height: 11px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5HQPq-OlbI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/LKU1Ero4SG4/s320/star20_tpng.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445362392119547314" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If it was just the picture on the website, I might think it was just my computer screen. However, the box also shows a very bright blue mug and the colors in the plate too. When the box is opened, I found a lighter blue...not primary bright blue, more like a Williamsburg Blue. It is still pretty but not what I really wanted. The other colors are the same way...pictured as very bright but muted out of the box.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another deceptive thing to note on the picture. It appears that the smaller plate is almost as big as the dinner plate. It is described as a salad plate...it is a bread and butter sized plate. I am not impressed with that. That being said the detailed description does state the correct dimensions of that plate. In a typical family-style dinner I really have no use for it. I would like a larger salad plate that is just the right size for the kids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As others posted, I too wish the Memphis pattern would also be on the other complementary tableware. Lighter color issues aside I do like the pattern. I would only suggest that when one makes a purchase you realize the picture is only slightly deceptive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do like the Corelle name of products. With my kids learning how to set a table, I need something a little more durable. This will do nicely until they are old enough to be able to deal with china.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Durable, easy to wash &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5HPirUZ7NI/AAAAAAAAAFA/P-NzwSwZoF0/s1600-h/star40_tpng.png"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 56px; height: 11px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5HPirUZ7NI/AAAAAAAAAFA/P-NzwSwZoF0/s320/star40_tpng.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445361619118451922" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pieces are thin and fit easily in dishwasher - jets can reach all surfaces, even bowls stacked next to each other in rack.

3-year limited break-and-chip warranty&lt;br /&gt;Editorial Reviews&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amazon.com Review&lt;br /&gt;Displaying the latest in contemporary aesthetics, Corelle's Square Round line consists of square plates and bowls with rounded corners, delineated round centers, and subtly lifted rims. The Simple Lines pattern presents a white background minimally graced by several swooping thin lines of black. The effect is at once stark yet artistically appealing, creating a dinnerware pattern that can be used for everyday, year-round dining or saved for special occasion entertaining.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like all Corelle dinnerware, Simple Lines is made of laminated layers of glass that produce incredible strength while being very lightweight, thin, and stackable. Moreover, because the enamel pigments are fired onto the dinnerware, the design won't fade or scratch off over time. This 16-piece set is comprised of four of each of the following: 10-1/4-inch dinner plate, 8-3/4-inch lunch plate, 22-ounce cereal or soup bowl, and 12-ounce porcelain mug. While sudden changes in temperature should be avoided, Corelle Square Round is safe for the microwave, oven, and dishwasher, and is covered by a 3-year warranty against chips and breakage. --Ann Bieri&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's in the Box&lt;br /&gt;4 place settings.

The old set start getting gray and streaky as if the years of utensils against the surface in daily use finally took a toll. When I decided to replace that set, I had no doubt that it would be with another set of Corelle. It is lightweight, dishwasher and microwave safe, is thin enough to not stack too high in the cabinet, and it stays nice looking even with heavy use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This set arrived well packed, the Corelle box and bubble packing inside another box, and everything was intact. The plates are really big! We will probably end up using the lunch plates as dinner plates sometimes. The bowls also have a very large capacity, easily two cups.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One main difference between this set and my old one is the coffee cups are not the same material as the dishes... they used to be made of the same 'vitrelle' and now are porcelain. I like the new ones better; they have a little more heft and keep my coffee warmer longer, and they are more elegant than our regular old unmatched mugs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love the squared shape of all the pieces, even the cups are a bit square. Perhaps it is because of the shape that the pieces all seem to have so much capacity. I like this pattern, Simple Lines, because it is a simple contemporary desigh. If I have one complaint it would be that the lines don't look solid and dark on the plates; in places the lines look like chalk stripes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have had this pattern for over a year &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5D8ecBQRLI/AAAAAAAAADw/SSd9C7H6UDg/s1600-h/star50_tpng.png"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 56px; height: 11px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5D8ecBQRLI/AAAAAAAAADw/SSd9C7H6UDg/s320/star50_tpng.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445129549338657970" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really liked this pattern when it came out and immediately bought 2 sets. I am here to buy another (always compare prices).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had Corelle growing up and liked the lightweight nature of it and the durability. However, the patterns were not so hot for a while. The newer patterns are great! I gave my old dishes to a college-bound relative when I got these. It was just too hard on my hands lifting 4 stacked stoneware plates from the diswasher to the cupboard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FYI, and stoneware/porcelain/ceramic dishes with chips should be discarded as dirt/bacteria can get into the unglazed part and you can't get it out. I don't like taking chances with my family's safety. I have never chipped a Corelle dish. My mother did drop one at walmart and it shattered into about a zillion shards, so it is possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only bummer about this set is that the mugs ARE NOT corelle glass. They match but are ceramic. My old set had corelle mugs. The paint does look slightly different as it is on a different surface. The bowls also only have a black rim, too bad the lines aren't on them. I do see they have added some companion pieces. Still waiting for smaller dessert/salad plates to match this set.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nice everyday dishes that can take rough handling of a family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only one small fault &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5D8nTBidOI/AAAAAAAAAD4/TPvpBRcDBG8/s1600-h/star40_tpng.png"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 56px; height: 11px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5D8nTBidOI/AAAAAAAAAD4/TPvpBRcDBG8/s320/star40_tpng.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445129701542753506" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love these plates - they are attractive and durable. In particular, the cups and bowls are good, practical sizes. My one complaint is that the black stripes are a different finish and rougher texture from the rest of the plate. Occasionally when a fork scrapes across one, we all get spine-tingles! If you are sensitive to this, you probably want to choose a different style. But I do highly recommend Corelle in general. My 5-yr-old cannot seem to destroy them (and he does try).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6069486659145296432-7748634603438183459?l=livingware.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livingware.blogspot.com/feeds/7748634603438183459/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livingware.blogspot.com/2010/03/corelle-simple-lines-square-16-piece.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6069486659145296432/posts/default/7748634603438183459'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6069486659145296432/posts/default/7748634603438183459'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livingware.blogspot.com/2010/03/corelle-simple-lines-square-16-piece.html' title='Corelle Simple Lines Square 16-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 4'/><author><name>Admin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08351814556532194079</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5D7PHehpFI/AAAAAAAAADY/zGS2Nxm_9H0/s72-c/41C9PP4C39L._SL210_.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6069486659145296432.post-494286073425487305</id><published>2010-03-05T04:12:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-04-03T00:56:37.844-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Lenox Butterfly Meadow Dessert Plates, Set of 4</title><content type='html'>Lenox Butterfly Meadow Dessert Plates, Set of 4&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000C11LPU?tag=waterheater02-20&amp;amp;camp=0&amp;amp;creative=0&amp;amp;linkCode=as1&amp;amp;creativeASIN=B000C11LPU&amp;amp;adid=0A27R50P80HE3YFM2SM2&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 210px; height: 210px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5D1hNWLDkI/AAAAAAAAAC4/FLgv4f2yc9k/s320/41TFQWBMNVL._SL210_.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445121900358078018" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Average customer review:&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5D1wacSFXI/AAAAAAAAADA/2czsSxXct60/s1600-h/star40_tpng.png"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 56px; height: 11px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5D1wacSFXI/AAAAAAAAADA/2czsSxXct60/s320/star40_tpng.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445122161571403122" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Product Description&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Serve dessert with as much variety as you can.

In fact, they're so charming you just might be tempted to hang them on the wall for display. Each features a white center that showcases a different realistic butterfly, based on original illustrations by Lenox artist Louise Le Luyer. The borders are pink, baby blue, mint green, and pale yellow, with a dainty vine scrolling along the inner edge. Measuring eight inches across, the plates are the most versatile size imaginable, holding a sandwich or side salad when not presenting a luscious slice of chocolate cake. Butterfly Meadow dinnerware sets a spring-fresh table that any nature lover will appreciate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lenox knows the value of carefree daily dinnerware, and makes these Butterfly Meadow bowls of white porcelain that is safe for heating foods in both a microwave and conventional oven, and cleans up with ease in the dishwasher. Lenox backs its products with a lifetime warranty, and will replace any unsatisfactory item or provide the customer a full refund. In addition, under its lifetime breakage replacement program, Lenox will replace any broken piece that is in stock at 50 percent off the current suggested retail price. --Ann Bieri&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Customer Reviews&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Great buy! &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5D2gjAeaxI/AAAAAAAAADQ/iA5twna25Cs/s1600-h/star50_tpng.png"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 56px; height: 11px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5D2gjAeaxI/AAAAAAAAADQ/iA5twna25Cs/s320/star50_tpng.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445122988504410898" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been building a set of Butterfly Meadow dishes since I bought my first pieces a couple of years ago.&lt;br /&gt;This set of four is a great buy.

Soft-colored butterflies and flowers decorate white backgrounds on each piece, and the knobs on the lids for the teapot and sugar bowl feature pretty, sculpted butterflies that are easy to hold onto when lifting. The rims of each piece are an octagonal shaped, instead of purely round, giving the set a unique look. Perfect for service during a private conversation and beautiful in a glass hutch, this tea set is made for showing off. It's also highly functional. Gracefully curving handles give adequate finger room and a 48-ounce teapot contains plenty for an intimate gathering. If a guest is fashionably late, the pieces are safe for reheating in the microwave or conventional oven. Cleanup is easy, since all pieces are safe to put in the dishwasher, and the set comes backed by Lenox's lifetime replacement policy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's in the Box 2 place settings, 3 serving pieces. Each place setting consists of: 2-7/8-inch teacup; 6-1/8-inch saucer. Serving set consists of: 48-ounce teapot and lid; 7-ounce creamer; 4-1/2-inch sugar bowl and lid. 8 pieces total.

Lenox says it is dishwasher safe. They lie. I put the pot in the diswasher to remove the tea stains(all alone on the top rack with reservations) It turns out I was right....The butterfly wings fell off from the dishwasher spray. It was not roughly handled or in a place that anything could have touched it but water. Lenox by the way DOES NOT warranty it for falling apart when used as instructed and stands by the "dishwasher safe" label. It will cost $30 to replace the pot under their 50% off breakage warranty and they won't sell you a lid only.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tea for 2 &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5DwCU_Dq6I/AAAAAAAAACo/fb8ojj5cKVQ/s1600-h/star50_tpng.png"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 56px; height: 11px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5DwCU_Dq6I/AAAAAAAAACo/fb8ojj5cKVQ/s320/star50_tpng.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445115872274525090" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The perfect tea set for Grandma and her favorite granddaughter.

Perfect for an average family, this set packs six 10-3/4-inch dinner plates, six 9-inch salad plates, and six 12-ounce mugs. Made of fine china, the dinnerware has a beautiful reflective quality to its ivory base color yet is surprisingly durable enough to go from the freezer to the oven to the table without damaging and is also safe for the microwave and dishwasher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Based on designs from Lenox artist Louise de Luyer, Butterfly Meadow's dinnerware set mixes and matches a variety of meadow scenes, each featuring a species of butterfly with a different bloom. Among the pictured butterfly varieties, there are colorful Swallowtails, Monarchs, Eastern-Tailed Blues, Orange Sulphers, and even a dragonfly here and there. Avid gardeners will also be able to spot favorite flowers, which range from morning glories to lilacs to tiger lilies. Each scene is a bit different from the next, adding to the charm of this country-style dinnerware. Graceful scalloped and ridged edges on plates and mugs lend an additional feeling of innocence to this pattern. This dinnerware set matches other crystal, flatware, and serving pieces in fine china and sculpted metal within Lenox's Butterfly Meadow collection. --Cristina Vaamonde&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's in the Box&lt;br /&gt;6 dinnerware place settings.

These are great! &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5DtMBVCj5I/AAAAAAAAABw/Fcf2wlt0iOw/s1600-h/star50_tpng.png"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 56px; height: 11px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5DtMBVCj5I/AAAAAAAAABw/Fcf2wlt0iOw/s320/star50_tpng.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445112740261826450" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are absolutely beautiful dishes and I love them. The patterns are so delicate, yet the plates are very durable. I really liked the variety of patterns on each piece. Even the back of the dishes have butterflies. I was happy to see them at such a discount here. I noticed they are also discounted the same at Bed, Bath and Beyond and a few other places, but are much cheaper than buying them direct from Lenox, even on sale. This set would make a lovely gift for anyone of any age, not just for an elderly person as suggested in the previous review. :) I highly recommend them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;cute everyday dishes &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5Dt5LmbdvI/AAAAAAAAACA/-IJaZ47__o4/s1600-h/star40_tpng.png"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 56px; height: 11px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5Dt5LmbdvI/AAAAAAAAACA/-IJaZ47__o4/s320/star40_tpng.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445113516113229554" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because of the discounts plural offered by Amazon, this is a good purchase. It's fun and the everyday flowers keep this from being too precious. The bugs are fantastic especially the fat bees. These dishes and cups feel very comfortable in the hand as does the matching rice bowl so I recommend this. Also, I think this would be a cheery gift to give to elderly women especially ones who don't like flowery twee patterns because new dishes are something that you tend not to get when you reach a certain age.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a much much better choice than plain white dishes which I would never do or a discounted snowflake set by Corelle. There is a non-Lenox brand (Homevisions)that is also offering a butterfly and flower pattern that is dippy looking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every piece is made in Indonesia. I read somewhere that the Corelle sets were mismatched because all but the cups were made together and the cups didn't match. I liked the idea of indestructible everyday dinnerware to match my indestructible restaurant pieces but reading deeper, I found that Corelle didn't promise such hardiness. This delicate looking Lenox set is lightweight and gentle on the lips but chip-proof enough for my purpose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is this frugal? no but I am happy I bought them and I use them everyday&lt;br /&gt;Would I have purchased this used at a cheaper price off of craigslist? no&lt;br /&gt;Did I shop around for the best total price including the manufacturer's website? yes and so should you&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Consider the shape of the mug. &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5DtMBVCj5I/AAAAAAAAABw/Fcf2wlt0iOw/s1600-h/star50_tpng.png"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 56px; height: 11px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5DtMBVCj5I/AAAAAAAAABw/Fcf2wlt0iOw/s320/star50_tpng.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445112740261826450" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love this whimsical pattern--the reason I gave this item five stars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bought this set for my mother-in-law. She will not use the mugs--they sit in her china hutch. She does not like the scalloped edge around the top of the mug--she says the scallops make drinking from them more *difficult* and less *comfortable*. She also does not like the narrow bottom on the mug. She feels they are top heavy and more prone to tipping/spilling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before buying the whole set, purchasing one mug seperately for a home trial may be warranted if there is any chance that the scalloped drinking edge or narrow base on the mug may pose a problem for you.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6069486659145296432-5635813254735631166?l=livingware.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livingware.blogspot.com/feeds/5635813254735631166/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livingware.blogspot.com/2010/03/lenox-butterfly-meadow-18-piece.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6069486659145296432/posts/default/5635813254735631166'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6069486659145296432/posts/default/5635813254735631166'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livingware.blogspot.com/2010/03/lenox-butterfly-meadow-18-piece.html' title='Lenox Butterfly Meadow 18-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 6'/><author><name>Admin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08351814556532194079</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5Ds6oy1p6I/AAAAAAAAABo/0H57mMUyU8U/s72-c/41TFQWBMNVL._SL210_.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6069486659145296432.post-5115954182267606125</id><published>2010-03-05T03:16:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-04-03T00:55:38.964-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Corelle Impressions 16-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 4, Watercolors</title><content type='html'>Corelle Impressions 16-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 4, Watercolors&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00012O9UE?tag=waterheater02-20&amp;amp;camp=0&amp;amp;creative=0&amp;amp;linkCode=as1&amp;amp;creativeASIN=B00012O9UE&amp;amp;adid=0JMQ8ME2DJ3YRF9QGKDY&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Each piece showcases its own whimsical design of curlicues, flowers, fruit, and flourishes in a soft palette of summertime colors. Mixed together at the table, they produce a happy medley of vibrant images. This 16-piece dinnerware set includes four complete place settings, each with a 10-1/4-inch dinner plate, 6-3/4-inch bread and butter plate, 18-ounce soup/cereal bowl, and 11-ounce mug. The line's exceptional durability comes from Corelle's unique lamination process that thermally bonds three layers of glass, resulting in lightweight dinnerware that resists chips, breaks, and stains. This set also goes into the dishwasher, freezer, oven, and microwave and is backed by Corelle's three-year warranty. --Kara Karll&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What’s in the Box&lt;br /&gt;4 place settings.

Cute! Cute! I love the mix and match look this set offers while still coordinating. The only complaint I would come close to having, is that the bowls are very shallow. They are great for salads, but not for soup or cereal. My solution was to buy the Corelle Snack Pack in white. The plates are very functional, light in weight, and take up less space than traditional stoneware.

Fast forward to my own life and many sets of stoneware...I have happily returned to Corelle. These are lovely dishes. The colors are little more muted than in they appear in the picture but still very attractive. Plus, they take about 1/3 of storage as my former set. I agree with the other reviewer, the bowls are shallow but I like that. The coffee mugs are very nice but these are stoneware.

Already tested this twice when 2 bowls fell on our ceramic floor. They didn't break!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love how the colors in this set are mixed and match, very whimsical and fun, and vibrant!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pro's: Very thin plates and bowls, love how they load in the dishwasher and don't take up much room in our cupboard. We like the idea of a shallow bowl. This bowl is large so it holds a lot of food!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only con is the mugs. We don't like them and the design doesn't go the whole way around the mug. But we will either live with them or buy the large Corelle mugs in a solid color.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are very happy with these plates!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6069486659145296432-5115954182267606125?l=livingware.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livingware.blogspot.com/feeds/5115954182267606125/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livingware.blogspot.com/2010/03/corelle-impressions-16-piece-dinnerware.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6069486659145296432/posts/default/5115954182267606125'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6069486659145296432/posts/default/5115954182267606125'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livingware.blogspot.com/2010/03/corelle-impressions-16-piece-dinnerware.html' title='Corelle Impressions 16-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 4, Watercolors'/><author><name>Admin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08351814556532194079</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RICnKmo9VIU/S5Doxw0CnQI/AAAAAAAAABA/7VXGVy90eTs/s72-c/412hOOkPrDL.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
