Elama Embossed Scalloped Stoneware Dinnerware Set, 16 Piece

I found it really difficult trying to find a dinner set that I really liked. Once I saw this, I thought I must have it! I was dubious about buying from the United States, Purley because its so far and I was afraid I would receive this in pieces. And I thought the delivery would probably take ages! But I had to try as I loved the look of this set. To be fair, the seller really packaged these items so well, and all have arrived in one piece. Plus, it arrived in 8 days of placing the order, and that was even with customs delays. So I’m really happy. The actual set is even more beautiful in person, and not too fragile either, very sturdy and just sooo pretty! I will be buying another set. Thank you.

I ordered two sets of this Elama dinnerware to replace my old Pfaltzgraf dishes. I was a little worried about ordering something so fragile online, but the sets were packaged well and arrived in perfect condition. And they are positively gorgeous! With their scalloped edges, the dessert plates complement the dinner plates perfectly, and the embossed pattern is a chic farmhouse style I just love. I considered the mugs a “bonus” I didn’t really want, but I love these mugs! Some “fancy” ceramic mugs aren’t comfortable to hold, but the handles on these fit my hand well, and the mugs have a nicely rounded shape and more beautiful embossing.

I was pleasantly surprised by how these plates hold food. Now, I realize that sounds strange, but think about it: the shape and features of a plate’s surface change how the food can be arranged on it. My old set had a wide, flat rim, leaving a flat depression barely bigger than a dessert plate in the center. Because of this, meals always filled both the center and part of the rim. Not only did this look sloppy, but it also made the plate seem overfilled even when the portions were quite reasonable. These Elama plates are slightly concave from center to outer rim, giving the diner the entire surface to arrange food on. It looks neat, tidy, and spacious. Borderline OCD? Perhaps. 😉 But I love how these plates hold food.

I couldn’t be happier with this purchase!

UPDATE: I’ve had these dishes for almost six months now and haven’t chipped a single one! In my household, that’s a miracle! Haha Beautiful AND durable. Great purchase!

Das Geschirr ist genauso ausgefallen, wie ich es mir vorgestellt habe. Einfach nur schön!

Item just as pictured and described. Love this set. Durable and elgantly beautiful.

I like these dishes and I have a large family so being reasonably priced helps when you need multiple sets but there are minor flaws in them not real big deal I sure would like to be able order pieces as I am very dropsy and most of the bowls are gone I just need bowls it would be nice to order just what I need

The lacy design on these dishes is beautiful. The scalloped edge on the dessert plates add an extra elegance to the set. All the pieces were very well packaged and arrived intact. Two of the bowls had a small flaw in the glaze finish and when I contacted customer service about it, they immediately sent out replacements. Excellent!
