Gibson Home Gracious Dining Double Bowl Porcelain Chip and Scratch Resistant Dinnerware Set, Service for 4 (16pcs), White (Coupe)

Really beautiful set of dishes. They were packaged very well and arrived in perfect condition. So far they have lived through several meals and cycles through the dishwasher and they still look great. They do not scratch and wash very easily. The dinner bowls are a surprise favorite. They are reasonably sized and perfect for pasta, ramen, rice bowls, etc.. They look very high-end and restaurant quality.

First - keep in mind how much you’re spending on this product. There are slight imperfections with the glazing on a few pieces which are noticeable if you’re closely examining a dish/bowl. Everything was packaged really well. They are made in China which I had neglected to look for before purchasing. I normally prefer to buy from elsewhere.I got the service for four, white with black trim. Great purchase. I appreciate that the raised rim will prevent any spills if a plate gets tilted when carrying. Although a bit of a modern shape it doesn’t ‘scream’ modern. I also have Lenox Butterfly Meadow and these will blend seamlessly with the serving pieces (I haven’t spent time seeing if I like to mix the plates/bowls with one another). They do have a bit more weight to them than I expected. If weight is a top factor in decision making I would suggest shopping in person. I’m keeping my set and believe they will hold up well. I’m pleased.

I bought two sets and I LOVE them. I’ve always used a pasta bowl and have never been able to find a dish set that has them included but this one does! The little bowls are also a great size for soups, cereals, or chilis. And the lip on the plates is fantastic for serving children, or messy eaters, saucy foods.I do think they are a little heavier than I’d expect a dinner set to be but it’s not too bad that I’d get rid of them. Kind of makes them seem more expensive in my mind.Dishwasher and microwave safe, never had a problem with chipping. And they are packaged incredibly well.

I love these dishes! I’ve had them for months now and no cracks or chips in any of the pieces. Definitely recommend! What made me choose this set over others that I was looking at is the two different sizes of bowls.

Love

These are awesome dishes!!! A few came in damaged, and the seller had a new set to me within a few days. I will definitely be buying from them again!!!!

Best Dishes I have ever bought! Highly recommended! Love them!!

I bought two sets of these dishes to replace my 10-year-old everyday stoneware. I’ve only been using them for about a week so I can’t speak to durability, but they seem heavy, solid, and probably able to withstand daily use pretty well.Pros:1. Well packaged, all 32 pieces arrived intact without chip or blemish.2. High-gloss finish (although this could be a negative for some, I wasn’t expecting it and would have preferred a more matte finish but in re-reading the description, it says glossy—and it really is so I guess it’s accurately described)3. Love the dinner/pasta bowl and that is the main reason I chose this set—rare to find a reasonably priced set that includes both pasta and cereal bowls. It’s very plain bowl, as you would expect, but it’s well sized and very functional. Feels good in the hands and looks nice on the table.4. It’s a very heavy set. Again this could be a negative (it was for me, I was expecting a more porcelain-type feel and weight), but if you’re used to stoneware or ceramic and like that heft, you’ll love this set.Cons:1. Lots of minor imperfections and irregularities in individual pieces. If they were hand glazed or hand finished or whatever, that would be fine, but it speaks to a lack of quality control in manufacturing and makes them look and feel cheap. Which, let’s be honest, they kind of are for the number of pieces you get, so I guess you get what you pay for. But if you’re looking for a set that can do double duty on the kitchen table and the dining table, this isn’t it. I would not use these for anything but casual dining, just too clunky and cheap-looking. It also makes me worry about longevity and durability.2. The Gibson stamp and writing on the underside of the plates smears and begins to disappear after just a few turns through the dishwasher. Probably not a big deal since most people won’t inspect the bottom of their plates but again, it indicates a cheapness that I find unexpected and off-putting. I didn’t expect Mikasa or Lenox quality at this price, but I did expect something nicer than you could buy by the piece at ikea or Walmart. This feels very much like the latter so I feel like it’s misrepresented as to what you’re actually getting. And because of that, I don’t think the price is all that great. You can get similar plates at Walmart for about $2 each for dinner and appetizer plates and the quality is about the same. So these feel overpriced for the quality of the set. If the pasta bowls weren’t included, I would have given this set 1-2 stars but that addition brings the value up a bit just because they are so hard to find at a good price because they’re so trendy right now.3. The white is more of a grayish white—which again might be fine if that’s what you’re looking for. I was hoping for a true white, my tableware and linens are in warm tones. The grayish cast is very noticeable in sunlight and normal kitchen lighting.Bottom line:This set is budget priced but presents as cheap—I feel like it’s a step below what you would expect at this price point. It’s probably fine for casual dining, you get a very nice variety of pieces to suit most needs. But it would look very out of place alongside your nice serving pieces on the dining table. In retrospect, I would not buy again but repacking and returning is too much work. Not really happy with this purchase but might be equal parts my fault for expecting an actual bargain and the manufacturer’s for representing this as something more than cheap ceramic dinnerware.
