Plates

Like, that you eat off.

I asked about them the other day:

Who’s got a set of dinner plates they really love?

Having a fairly direct relationship to an artist would be nice…

  • Get a local ceramics artist to do them. Love it, do it if you can. It will probably be expensive and take a while. It’s also subject to the style of the artist and likely won’t be simple/plain if that’s what you’re after.
  • Find a ceramics artist on Etsy you like. Good luck, Etsy is so full of garbage these days I find it hard to find anything decent in any category.

Otherwise, shopping!

IKEAGLADELIG.

$5.99 for a 10″ plate is a good deal and it’s a classy look.

CorelleWinter Frost White 18-piece Dinnerware Set

The ultimate classic for me. This is what I grew up with. They are thin, light, and strong. And only $79.99 for 6 of each large plate, small plate, and bowl.

A set of white dinnerware featuring a large plate, a medium bowl, and several smaller bowls arranged together.

NoritakeColorWave

The ColorWave sets are pretty simple and classy looking. $139.99 for 4-of-each. They have showier stuff like a Frank Lloyd Wright set and My Neighbor Totoro set as well which appeal to me.

East ForkStarter Set

This is actually what I had before, and honestly they are really nice. I love those unglazed rims and the spotted look. They are just pricy at $426 for a 4-of-each set.

Wanted to try something new.

Crate & BarrelMercer

$74.95 for 8 plates is a pretty good deal. Create & Barrel was where my mind first goes for something like this and I’m sure it would have been a good choice as well.

FableDinner Plates

Love the look of these. So plain but with just tiny bits of waves/variations. $104 for 4 (just plates)

(via Brian)

A stack of four light gray ceramic plates on a neutral background.

FiestawareSkeleton Duet

This is what I went with!

‘Tis the season, I guess, but I loved the design and I’m gonna rock them all year long. I paired the small orange Skeleton places with these black larger “Dinner Bowls”, a couple of oblong Skeleton serving platters, and got a free Skeleton dish towel.
