Gibson Soho Lounge Square Reactive Glaze Dinnerware Set, Red, Service for 4 (16pcs)

After three decades of surviving on whatever plates remained unbroken, I decided it was time for a serious upgrade. So, I did what any reasonable person would do—I got two sets in different colors (because why not?).First impressions? Gorgeous. The reactive glaze gives them that unique, handcrafted look, and the mix of red and sapphire makes my dinner table look like an art gallery. Every meal feels fancier—even if it’s just takeout pizza.Functionality? They hold food like champions. They’re sturdy (weighing in at what I can only describe as heftier than expected), and they survive the microwave and dishwasher like seasoned warriors.Potential issue? They’re heavy. If you’re used to lightweight dishes, these might feel like you’re lifting weights just to serve dinner. Also, thanks to their unique glaze, no two plates are exactly alike—which I consider a feature, not a bug.Would I buy it again? In a heartbeat. After 30 years of mismatched chaos, I finally have a dinnerware set that sparks joy and resists breakage.________________________________________Final Thoughts: The Great Kitchen Upgrade of 2025Between the badass silverware, the bulletproof glasses, and the museum-worthy plates, my dining experience has officially leveled up. No more sad, mismatched pieces from the past. Everything looks cohesive, elegant, and—dare I say—grown-up.Would I recommend this combo? Yes. If you want to feel like you have your life together (even if you don’t), this is the way to go.

Gibson Soho Lounge 16-Piece Square Reactive Glaze Dinner Set - RedI want to provide information from our experience which differs from many of the past reviews we read on the Amazon website. My wife and I rely heavily on reviews from others when making purchasing decisions on Amazon. We were somewhat reluctant to purchase these dishes after reading the various reviews regarding breakage, chipping and color variations but went ahead and ordered due to finding a very good price point from one of the sellers. We found one seller from Amazon selling the 16 piece set for an amazing $36.33 per set! For that price point, we felt it was worth the risk to order these dishes.- We are extremely pleased with our purchase. These dishes are beautiful! The colors and shading from piece to piece are consistent with no scratches on the surface. We experienced no chips and no breakage during shipment.- We purchased four sets desiring to have 12 place settings on hand and to have four additional place settings in reserve.- We think the color shown (description states red but we saw that the color looked more like a burgundy/burgundy rust) on the Amazon site and our perception of the color shown was very comparable to what was delivered.- The packaging from the manufacturer is very solid. In fact its so solid that the dishes somehow withstood the very poor additional packaging from Amazon. Amazon sent us our four sets in two separate deliveries (two sets at a time). Amazon put two sets into one larger box to ship them. Amazon did not make sure that the two inside boxes were right side up when placing them into the larger box. Nor did Amazon add very much additional cushioning packing material inside the larger box to keep the two smaller boxes from moving/bouncing around, etc. There are so many reviews discussing breakage on these dishes during shipment. I'm convinced that this is an Amazon issue and not the fault of the manufacturer.- A few previous reviewers noted that their sets of dishes were manufactured in different countries (China and I believe Vietnam were mentioned) and they noticed slight variations in the shades and shapes of the dishes from country to country. Our dishes were ALL manufactured in China so we did not experience any of those issues.- We've washed these dishes in the dishwasher and had no breakage or cracks identified in other reviews. The dishes also fit easily in our dishwasher.- We've experienced no knife or fork marks after using the plates and bowls.- We've not yet chipped or broken any of these dishes on our own. All dishes can chip or break if not handled somewhat gently. We are not too rough on our dishes so maybe we are more of the exception. We won't clank the dishes together to test their chipping resistance!! :)- More important than anything else, my wife loves these dishes and have given them her hard earned seal of approval!We hope this helps those that are considering these dishes. We'd absolutely purchase these dishes again. This was our experience and know that others experiences have often been quite different than ours.

The Gibson Soho Lounge Stoneware Dinnerware Set is a stunning addition to my kitchen! The speckled taupe color with the reactive glaze finish gives the dishes a unique, handcrafted look that makes every meal feel a bit more special. The square shape adds a modern touch, and I love how each piece has slight variations due to the glazing process, making the set feel more personalized.The set includes everything you need for a table setting for four, with large dinner plates, salad plates, bowls, and mugs. The stoneware is sturdy and feels durable, holding up well to daily use without any chipping or scratching. It’s also microwave and dishwasher safe, which is a huge plus for convenience.Overall, this set is both practical and stylish, perfect for everyday meals or even special occasions. The combination of form and function makes it an excellent choice for anyone looking to elevate their dinnerware!

First, the dishes were beautiful. Very heavy and good quality and we really love them. They were packed very well too. We ordered two sets and unfortunately two of the dinner bowls in one box did not make it even though the boxes looked fine. But FYI if you reach out to the company they will basically tell you this is not covered by warranty, but if they happen to have a replacement in the warehouse they will send a complimentary replacement, but do not guarantee there will be one sent. If they cannot their solution is to return the WHOLE SET. It says they would try and resolve in 14 days from the time I replied with pictures, item numbers, etc....This dinner set was like 32 carefully packaged individual pieces. The bowls were the last thing unpacked. There is no way we would be able to get it all packaged again and back in the box. Hope I don't have to just live without the bowls I thought I was gonna have for my family. I will update if they do a replacement.Update:Company reached out very quickly once the info they requested was recieved. It was only maybe a week before they FEDEX shipped me two replacement bowls and man they packed them very very well. This company's customer service is top notch!!
