Amazon.com Review

Over 150 years of experience have made the potters at Emile Henry expert at producing tableware that is as lovely as it is useful. Ever since 1850, Emile Henry has been producing ceramics in the Burgundy region of France from a clay of superior quality that holds up amazingly well to a wide range of temperatures. In addition, the company has developed patented technological improvements to increase the durability and strength of its tableware and bakeware.

The Emile Henry 16-piece Provencal dinnerware set contains four place settings, each with an 11-inch dinner plate, a 9-inch soup/pasta bowl, an 8-inch salad plate, and a 14-oz mug. Ultra-durable when exposed to a wide range of kitchen temperatures, these pieces can go straight from the freezer into a hot oven, and they're safe for use under a broiler or in a microwave. Emile Henry tableware is chip-resistant, sturdy, and lovely.

The beauty of Emile Henry's design is its simplicity; the pieces are solid-colored with simple raised borders on plates and bowls. But the high-gloss glaze and rich, warm Provencal colors--pieces are available in Cerise Red, Citron Yellow, Azure Blue, and Vert Green--are anything but plain. Designed to evoke the sun-soaked palette of the South of France, these dishes can serve equally well as casual place settings for everyday use or straightforwardly elegant settings for holidays and special occasions. Additional matching pieces in the Provencal style include various baking dishes, bowls, and serving pieces such as an oval platter, a pitcher, and a covered butter dish. Emile Henry pieces are dishwasher-safe, so they're easy to clean. The company offers a three-year warranty against defects. --Garland Withers What's in the Box4 place settings. Each place setting consists of: 11-inch (28 cm) dinner plate; 9-inch (22.5 cm) soup/pasta plate; 8-inch (21 cm) salad plate; 14-ounce mug. 16 pieces total.

Product Description

Marcigny, a small town nestling between the hills of Southern Burgundy, has been home to Emile Henry for the past 150 years. Faithful to its origins, the entire production is carried out here. Thanks to its clay, rich in refractory properties, Burgundy has remained a fertile area for potters, passing on their savoir-faire from generation to generation. Clay, a natural and noble material, has been used since the mists of the time to cook or preserve food. While respecting the traditional techniques, Emile Henry has introduced technological improvements (Ceradon ®) so that the dishes are more resistant to mechanical and thermal shock. Strong, durable, all Emile Henry pieces can be taken directly from the freezer to the hot oven, can go under a broiler and is microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe. The natural clay is unsurpassed for conducting and retaining heat. All pieces are perfect for everyday use and carry a 3 year warranty against defects.

This review is from: Emile Henry Provencal Vert Green 16-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 4 (Kitchen)

I registered for this dinnerware for my recent wedding. I LOVE IT. My mother-in-law and one of my sister-in-laws also has this set, but in red. IT IS FANTASTIC. Very sturdy (great for the husband who doesn't treat dishes nicely...) and goes great wtih the Pottery Barn ivory colored dishes we also got. You can dress it up with accessories on the table for the holidays, or use it for the backyard BBQs in the summer. I LOVE, LOVE this dinnerware, and am enjoying being able to add pieces as they come out.
