Heavy and scratched
The shape and color are good. But each plate weighs a ton and all plates came with noticeable scratches.The catch: those plates are the only ones with the color and shape I was looking for.

What the glaze does
Reactive glaze carries mineral oxides that travel while the piece fires. Thickness, kiln position and the shape underneath all pull the boundary between the colours around, so speckles land differently and a fade can sit higher or lower on the next piece.
Care
- 1. Warm it firstRinse a cold piece in warm water before you pour something boiling into it.
- 2. Cloth betweenStack with a cloth in the gap. Glaze is glass, and glass scratches glass.
- 3. Cloth, not wireWarm water and a cloth take off everything a mug picks up in a week.
When stacking glass or ceramic items for storage, place a cushion of soft material between each piece.

Worth Every Penny!! Giftable
Love them, exactly as depicted in shape and color. Not to heavy and fits nicely in stand up cabinet for show.*Update*I purchased in Jan 2022 and have been using them regularly and without mercy. The Pics were taken today and show no signs of wear and tear. I use in microwave, dishwasher, and in the warming oven. they are not stackable friendly in my opinion but I store them standing so no complaints there. If you are thinking about it even a little DOOOO IIIITTT they are beautiful, and functional.
I was worried the floor because of the quality and weight of the plate.
Very sturdy, it's been a year and no wear or knife marks! Suttle color yet adds a luxurious feel. Not easy to break but grateful it's the plate the breaks and not the floor. The fact that it's a concern, says good things about the quality. Definitely recommend. I bought 4 more.
Very pretty, sturdy, a solid piece of dinnerware.
I bought the small plates because I'd previously bought a cup and saucer set and a mug from Bosmarlin, and had been pleased with them. These plates are sturdy, dishwasher-safe, and lovely to see in the cabinet or on my table. The set was well-packaged with thick plastic foam plates on all six sides of the box and a cardboard fitting to hold each plate apart without touching in transit.
Best Customer Service
I ordered a set of four dinner plates. One had a chip in the center of the plate. There's no way they would know that, since I believe there pre-packaged. I sent an explanation and a photo of the chip. They immediately sent me a replacement of all four plates. That in itself is incredible. Keep up the good work.Dr. John
Excellent Dinnerware at an excellent price.
I bought these to replace some old dishes. I was looking for a particular shade of blue and color online is an exact match to the color of the product (which is not always the case). They are pleasantly heavy which is also something I wanted. They were very well packed and arrived in perfect condition. I think I got a lot for the price. I'm very happy with them.
Cute small plates
These plates are very nice and sturdy. Their easy to clean and get any kind of sauce or oil off. They were delivered pretty fast got the big plates a day early. Definitely 10/10

What you are holding
The same eight things are true of every piece we make.
Fired hard
Stoneware fires dense, so it holds heat and shrugs off the knock against a tap.
Glaze that moves
Mineral oxides travel in the heat, so the firing draws the line between colours.
Handles for full mugs
A large mug carries a handle you can put a whole hand through.
Made to stack
Wide feet and even rims, so a shelf of them sits flat.
Dishwasher and microwave
Stated on nearly every piece in the range, and true of the glaze rather than a hope.
No two alike
Speckles land differently and a fade can sit higher or lower on the next piece.
Lead-free and cadmium-free
As stated on the range. The care page spells out what that means.
Sized for real drinks
From 8.5 oz for a cappuccino to 50 oz for a mug of soup.
Stoneware, porcelain and earthenware
Three words used loosely on the same shelf. They describe how hot the clay was fired and how much water it will still absorb, and that difference decides how a piece behaves in a dishwasher, in a microwave and against the edge of a sink.
Stoneware, what we make
- Fired hot and dense, so it absorbs almost no water
- Heavy in the hand and stable on a desk
- Chips are rare, and a chip does not soak up coffee
- Holds heat noticeably longer than a thin cup
Porcelain
- Fired hot too, but thrown thin and light
- Elegant, and far easier to chip on a tap
- Cools faster because there is less body to hold heat
- Usually sold as a full service rather than by the piece
Earthenware
- Fired lower, so the body stays porous
- Depends entirely on its glaze to hold liquid
- A crazed or chipped glaze lets the body absorb
- Lighter and cheaper, and shorter lived in daily use
The three words describe firing temperature and how much water the fired body still takes up. Everything else follows from that.
