Amazon.com Review
Hearthstone Square dinnerware from Corelle sets a vibrant table with color choices from its Spice Alley collection. Choose from Chili Red, Turmeric Yellow, Bay Leaf Green, Indigo Blue, or Royal White, and mix and match if desired. Clean-lined and modern, the gently squared pieces take their cue from Asian styling for a refined, timeless look. The backs of the plates, interior of the mug, and exterior of the soup bowl are black for sophisticated contrast.

Ready right out of the box to seat four diners, this set includes four of each of the following: 11-1/2-inch dinner plate; 8-3/4-inch luncheon, salad, or dessert plate; 28-ounce bowl for soup, cereal, or ice cream; and a 14-ounce mug. Corelle makes the glossy dinnerware of durable stoneware that stands up to everyday use in the microwave and dishwasher, with the added bonus of being oven-safe for keeping food warm. The set is covered by Corelle's one-year replacement policy for any piece that chips or breaks during normal household use. --Ann Bieri

Customer Reviews

great set!
these are a beautiful dark blue...no chalky blue here!!!
they are not as black blue as the picture though. they are large and won't fit in standard cabinetry....so you will have to find a place for them.....
great quality! i saw them at walmart for more!!! i got 25.00 off an entire order of 125.00 and free shipping..which is 20% off.....
you won't be sorry.....they mix and match great with the other colors in their collection! they are a heavy weight.
i purchased the red with these to mix and match...the red on the picture is not the red on the dishes they are a chalky red..almost mauvey red.....i love bright red..so that was a bit of a bum...but they look great alone or with the blue!!!

Large and Unique
I liked the square shape of this set and I liked that they are large in comparison to other dinnerware. I have some family members who do not like it if different food items touch, so this works out wonderfully. Also, for those wanting a full plate of food, there is plenty of room.

The bowls are larger than other bowls we have used, which I like. When we used the salad plates under hot bowls, the bowls stayed firmly in place instead of sliding around.

I did have to get used to drinking from the mugs (cups) as they have straight sides instead of being rounded, but they too hold a good amount of whatever you choose to put in them.

I did measure my dishwasher before ordering to be sure the plates clear the wand because another review I read said the plates were too large for the purchaser's dishwasher. They cleared the wand in my dishwasher fine. I like these dishes because they are different.

Two bowls were broken upon intital shipment. I contacted the manufacturer and they immediately sent out replacements.

Stylish but flawed
Everytime I serve a meal on these dishes I am amazed at how stylish it looks. There's no doubt about it---they make a stunning table service. The problem is in the functionality.

First of all, I had to get a plate rack and store the dishes vertically because the 11 1/2 inch plates wouldn't fit in my cabinets. Then I had to raise the shelf above them to fit the vertical plates, which reduced the space there.

Next problem: They wouldn't fit in my dishwasher without raising the top rack to the point where my glasses wouldn't fit. That leaves me with this dilemma: wash the glasses by hand or wash the plates by hand. And if I wash the plates by hand, there usually aren't enough dishes to fill the dishwasher up. (I don't like to waste water and energy by running a partial load.) In short, I do my dishes by hand now.

Final problem: Recent scientific research has indicated that people easily overeat when the dishes are large, and I know that is certainly true for me. The larger plates, bowls, and mugs are SO BIG that I must be on guard not to put too much food in them. The bowl, for example, holds twice as much as my previous dishes---I know because I checked.
