Le Creuset Stoneware 16-piece Dinnerware Sets

We purchased this set at Sur la Table in cherry red because it was not yet available at Amazon a few months ago. In fact it just became available recently in the U.S. We paid just a couple dollars more than here & would have gotten from Amazon if were available previously because of our long standing great relationship with them over many years. This color is so beautiful, we have several pieces of cherry red in bakeware-serveware so we decided to get the same color in this dinner table set, really you do not need to buy the same color but I really like it to match. However in my stove top cookware pieces I have all different colors and love it that way. These plates, bowls and mugs are the best quality I have ever seen. Each piece in my set was examined by me and found to be flawless from top to bottom and inside out. The stoneware firing is at an extreme high temperature and that provides durability and a velvety smooth feel. The cherry red is my favorite followed closely by the flame orange and the kiwi green is about the prettiest green I've ever seen but would not be the right choice for my existing decor. We added cereal bowls and french onion soup handle bowls to this set, they are really necessary to build a good collection of daily use dishes. Do not hesitate to make this purchase, you will never regret a penny of the investment. The main set here comes with 4 place settings and I think you can get individual pieces to expand to 6 place settings which is what we plan to do because our dish cupboard is not big enough to hold 8 place settings otherwise we would have just ordered two sets of these.

These dishes have beautiful glaze and I love that I can put them in the oven. The only drawback is the size. The bowls are very shallow and wide which makes them a bit of a slosh risk when full of soup. They are also an awkward size to load into the dishwasher. The plates are so big that the cupboard door won't even close. I thought that I had large cupboards and that I wouldn't need to worry about the size of the plates, but I should have measured...

I own both the Flame Le Creuset dishes and 2 place settings of Fiesta. We bought the Fiesta while debating the Le Creuset purchase and I am happy with both brands. I prefer the sizes/shapes of the Fiesta bowls though, they are just more practical sizes, but prefer the Le Creuset plates more. Note about Le Creuset: the soup bowl and salad bowl look almost the same, so if you are buying individual pieces in a store and NOT the 4 piece set I would opt for the soup bowl if you are budgeting as it looks mostly like a salad plate and can be used interchangeably. We have both since we got a very good price at the outlet store, but just something to consider.

We have had them all for several years and even accidentally dropping a bowl on tile have not even had so much as a chip on Fiesta! The Le Creuset was made in China sadly unlike Fiesta which is made in the US, but they are beautiful dishes that are heavy like the Fiesta, that we use very often and have also not had them chip or crack with a few accidental falls from washing dishes in the sink.

I support American made products when I can and even with Le Creuset outsourcing the stoneware, it's still better quality than many common brands one finds at a regular store. I will say that I bought our LC at the outlet store, so I paid significantly less than some retail stores price them for. Minus a star for being made in China. Mine were stamped on the bottom lead and cadmium free, and while we cannot be 100% sure, I choose to trust them as they do seem good quality. If you feel uneasy about them being made in China, go for the Fiesta which I believe also is marketed as lead free.

I won one dishware set at an auction. They are beautiful. A 4 place setting was not enough for my needs so I ordered another set, and 8 small bowls in all different colors because my husband didn't like the soup bowls for his oatmeal. When I opened the box, one of the salad plates was chipped. I called and am getting one sent to me to replace it. That was ok. I unloaded the dishwasher tonight and found another salad plate chipped. I am so disappointed. I went round and round trying to decide between Fiestaware and Le Creuset. I wonder if I chose wisely. I sent the Le Creuset company an email. I'll let you know about the warranty. Hopefully I will change the number of stars.
