Amazon.com Product Description
Pinzon Sole earthenware enhances any tabletop with a burst of color. The Sole, or "sunshine", pattern was designed exclusively for Pinzon by Caleca, a company renowned for making unique Italian ceramics. Sole dinnerware reflects the beauty of the Mediterranean and is entirely hand painted, using non-toxic colors, by skilled decorators. Each piece in this 16-piece set features a radiant orange border and center circle, and an intricate blue floral and green swirl pattern. Constructed of durable high-fired earthenware coated in a lustrous, lead-free glaze, the set makes a casual yet sophisticated presentation for all kinds of cooking. It resists warping and cracking and is made for everyday use. Four complete place settings include four 11-inch round dinner plates, four 8-inch round salad plates, four 8-1/2-inch round soup bowls, and four 16-ounce mugs that stand 4.3 inches tall. Complement these settings with Pinzon's Sole bakers and casseroles, fruit bowl set, and serveware. Pinzon earthenware lives up to the rigors of the microwave, oven, and dishwasher. It's made in Italy.

Customer Reviews

Beautiful dinnerware
I already owned the Girasole pattern and bought Sole for a change in color scheme. These dishes are substantial and set a beautiful table.

Cheerful looking dishes at great price
I bought this same pattern for my parent's anniversary gift two years ago at Williams-Sonoma, paying more than 3 times this price. When I saw these dishes on Amazon on sale in late Spring 2008 and needing dishes for new house, I immediately bought service for 8. Although these dishes are slightly different from those from Williams-Sonoma, they seem equal in quality. The sugar bowl is too small but good for people who don't use much sugar. They fit in dishwasher and are microwave safe.

Supreme dinnerware set!
I love my Caleca dinnerware set. The bright and cheerful colors of the dishes are every bit as beautiful as I had hoped for. The dishes are durable, amply sized and I love the fact that it is both dishwasher and microwave safe. I purchased the fruit bowls separately and they, too, are extremely useful. I'm sure I'll be adding additional items to this set. I strongly recommended buying this. You won't be sorry!
