Amazon.com Review
Saturated with eye-popping colors, Waechtersbach Freestyle dinnerware sets an invigorating table. The rimless coupe styling of these four dinner plates, each of which measures 10-3/4 inches in diameter, not only presents a wide serving area but a clean, contemporary look. Perfect for everyday use, the plates mix and match beautifully with salad plates, bowls, mugs, and serving pieces in other colors in the collection's rainbow, as well as with the floral Vintage Dahlia pattern.

Known for superlative glazes, especially its vivid cherry red, Germany-based Waechtersbach has been producing ceramicware since 1832. While not recommended for microwave use, the high-fired earthenware is dishwasher-safe and is still made in Germany. --Ann Bieri

Red Couldn't Be Prettier
I love this dinnerware and the simplicity of the design! It's so versatile. I use it daily. The cherry red color is so right for special occasions and perfect for Valentine's Day and Christmas also. The mugs of both the regular shape and the cafe latte are balanced well and so easy to hold. I was first introduced to this dinnerware while house & pet sitting for a family when they were on vacation. They have a decades older version of this design that was made in Spain and it has a bit more of an orange-red color. I just had to have it also and was not at all disappointed when I discovered that the current color is a true red. I can't understand why another person said that hers crazed. I even use mine in the microwave and have never had a problem with crazing. I doubt that you will be disappointed if you order this dinnerware.

Do not waste your money!!
I purchased these plates from a major department store not amazon but thought that I should warn you about my experience. I have only used these plates a few times even though I have had them over a year. I began to notice that they are crazing. I had no idea that new dishes craze. If you dont know crazing is where it looks like the glaze has broken but the dish has not (creating a spider web look). It has something to do with the firing temperature and glaze. They really look horrible. I have many vintage dishes from the 50's and none of those are crazed. I had no awareness that new dishes craze. What is going on in the firing process that caused these dished to craze. I also noticed that one of the plates is now cracked. I have only broken one plate in my life and that is when I dropped it n a concrete surface from 5 feet above. How on earth this plate become cracked I dont knwow.

Steer clear of this items because it will not last. I have Fiestaware and it is great. no crazing and very durable.
