IittalaOrigo Dinner Plate, Orange

Hi, my name is Sasha, and I'm a dish-oholic. To the tune of roughly 20 sets of dishes. I have different dishes for each season and purpose. But I was finally satisfied with my collection; sober, if you will. I could even enjoy looking at new dishes without thinking I needed to own them. Then, after nearly 10 years of sobriety, I fell for these dishes. At first it was just a few dessert bowls and tumblers (yes, the tumblers are a little weird), but now I've collected a whole set--didn't even wait for Santa's help.And, so help me, I love them! They are cheerful, modern, and a pleasure to handle. The colors (I have the orange version) mix well with many of my existing dishes (even, somehow, my winter set), so I expect to keep them in the cabinet year-round while rotating my seasonal dishes around them.Several reviewers worry about breakage because they are thin. Of course any ceramic dishes are breakable if dropped or transferred from a hot oven to cold water, but, these dishes are high-quality porcelain (which allows them to be thin) and should stand up to decades of normal handling without chipping or crazing. The iittala has specific care information if you're interested.Now I'm dreaming about iittala's Taika....

Beautiful! My daughter loved them. Quick shipping.

I love these plates. They are simple in design but the color combination is unique. They feel a little fragile (which means they are high quality?). I have granite countertops, so I have to make sure I place these plates down gently. Haven't broken a plate yet but seems like it could happen easily. Regardless, I'm very happy with my purchase.
