Euro Ceramica Zanzibar 16 Piece Dinnerware Set, Multicolor

Love the colors and the size.

Husband didnt like the look so i waited for two months before deciding to try them figuring i could send them back if he refused to warm up to them. He won’t admit it but likes them alot. I bought three sets of these plus the pasta bowls. Love love love the pasta bowls. The cups are most surprising. I didnt think I’d like them since the shape is rather different. But turned out to be fun to drink coffee and tea in. Husband loves the size of them. The entire set is gorgeous and a couple weeks later seem to be holding up to normal wear and tear. No cracks or chips yet. A few pieces have a tiny defect but just not enough to send the whole set back. Serving for 12 plus the pasta bowls for $250.00 is a reasonable price for the quality and quantity. I am taking off a point because they claim to be microwave safe but the plates and bowls get extremely hot after 3 minutes in the microwave and need a potholder to remove. Was almost a deal breaker for me but they are just so beautiful I can’t return them.

**2 years later, an update**

So this is a first for me – 2 years after purchase but I’m literally using our sole “chipped” cup & was jazzed enough that I felt compelled to update my review bc I wholeheartedly support this store/brand/seller/product. My cup is also full of gin & fruity bits but I didn’t have to tell you that!
I find so much crap on Amazon that I don’t trust – do you know how many items have obviously mis-sized photoshopping & the seller doesn’t even care??? Pfffz. I have 2 teenagers who *still* just throw my cast iron pots & pans literally ON TOP of these plates & mugs (they balance a heavy pot on them in the sink like jerks) – nothing. I no longer panic about this. Heavier things in life to worry about. The mugs are a little chunky (but great for gin & water!); we have one bowl that has had a small chip on it for 2 years (also – still – holds a pile of skillets/pans/plates/cups/silver on it). The plates are a hit, they still make everyone happy. Feels like everyone’s a lot more pleasant & behaved when we use them. Haven’t lost a single piece, nothing has actually broken & literally there is one bowl that has been chipped for 2 years – with a small chip – and a mug that has a tiny nick that literally no one else but me notices.

TLDR/ as far as dishware goes, you’d be an idiot to turn these down 🙂

Original Post***Loved them so much, I bought a second set in case something happens over time. My new favourite plate set. I’m picky about thickness & art detail…oftentimes complicated designs are gaudy or halfassed. This set is even more beautiful in person. We use them daily, they go in the microwave, dishwasher, the kids pile pots, pans and all sorts of heavy dishware on them inside the sink – I’m always anxious they’ll break, but luck has held out & I still have a full set. The artwork is very well designed, the overlaying glaze isn’t thick and gross, it’s just perfect. One bowl has a tiny chip (kids) and we still use it. Breakable of course but I’m amazed how well they’ve held up against my teens. I’m not in love with the mugs, they’re thicker than I’d like, but I bought the set for the plates and bowls. Rarely do I find joy in material objects (or leave reviews) but I really do enjoy this set. Def an investment I’m happy to have made.

I have two sets, Great for company and family. They are as attractive live as they are on Amazon’s page.
