This review is from: Pfaltzgraff Sedona 4-Piece Dinnerware Place Setting, Service for 1 (Kitchen)
This 4 piece "Sedona" style dinnerware set by Pfaltzgraff gives you service for one. This is good when you want to buy service for one alone or as a separate setting for a family of 5 or 6 when you don't need dishes for eight. Moreover, all of these products are sturdy and well made. You get a dinner plate, a salad plate, a mug and a bowl for soup or cereal. The design of this set gives it that warm, vibrant southwest feel; the design can also go with many contemporary and even modern dining room sets.
This "Sedona" style dinner plate by Pfaltzgraff is indeed dishwasher and microwave safe. The manufacturer claims that it is also oven and freezer safe; but I can't comment on that because I haven't used it in the oven and freezer. Although this is made to be a dinner plate; this can be used as a small serving plate. You can also use this dinner plate for all those luxurious, oversized decadent desserts! Great!
The design of the dinner plate is very smart. The cream color in the center is nicely complemented by the little blue spots hand painted with care; and there are attractive multicolored stripes running around the circumference of this twelve inch wide plate.
Although the smaller plate is made for salads; this can also be used for deserts and meals with smaller portions. The design of the salad plate is very smart. The dark shade of blue in the center is nicely complemented by the warm, earthy tones with abstract shapes all around the circumference of this nine inch wide plate. This salad plate is hand painted; that impresses me.
Then there's the mug. This huge 16 ounce mug by Pfaltzgraff truly IS a man sized mug! However, everyone is sure to appreciate this sturdy mug that can hold anything you serve to your guests. (All right, so it isn't perfect for serving liquor, but we knew that already!) Pfaltzgraff manufacturers this mug to be durable so it can stand the test of time--this is nothing cheaply made.
The "Sedona" style mug is indeed dishwasher and microwave safe just like its counterparts. The manufacturer claims that it is also oven and freezer safe; but I can't comment on that because I haven't used it in the oven and freezer.
The design of the bowl is very "smart." The interior of the bowl is a warm cream color freckled with blue specks that are all hand painted. This design is nicely complemented by the predominantly warm, earthy tones of the different colored stripes all around the outside of the bowl. The navy blue stripes at the very top and bottom of the outside of the bowl give the bowl a sharp, smart look. Although this is made to be a soup or cereal bowl; this can also be used for deserts such as ice cream.
There is a five year warranty but with the great design of these items I doubt you'll ever need it! When I handle the plates, mug and bowl they all feel very sturdy and solid.
Overall, this "Sedona" style dinnerware set for four is truly an excellent value. I note that some other reviewers couldn't fit the dinner plates into their kitchen cabinets. As the dinner plate is just short of 12 inches wide, consider this before buying this set.

Perfect plate set, June 4, 2007
This review is from: Pfaltzgraff Sedona 4-Piece Dinnerware Place Setting, Service for 1 (Kitchen)
We got this plate set with wedding money about a year ago now. It's a terrific set. The "dinner" plates are a little big, but it's not a big deal really. It all fits into our cabinets without issue, but the dinner plates don't fit into out counter top dishwasher. Personally we use the salad plates most all of the time. We only get out the diner plates when I'm serving company. Between amazon and the factory website you can get matching pieces to decorate your entire kitchen and dinning room. Beyond the plate set (salad plates, dinner plates, bowls, and mugs) there's a salt and pepper shakers, sugar and creamer, a covered butter dish, chip and dip set, serving bowl and gravy jug. The "centerpiece" pitcher is absolutely the most beautiful thing ever. (that's all that we own so far) They also sell rugs , hot pads, dry cloths, garlic keeper, measuring cups, and just about anything else you can want.
One negative is replacements are a little expensive. I just broke the first thing from the set we own, the lid to the sugar bowl, and it's cheaper to buy a new sugar and creamer set from amazon than buy a new sugar bowl from the manufacturer. I noticed that's true for plates too, you can buy one plate from the manufacturer or for a few bucks more get a 4 piece set from amazon. Just put the extras away as on-hand replacements.
Overall I'm extremely happy to have bought this set.

Beautiful Dinnerware, March 25, 2007
This review is from: Pfaltzgraff Sedona 4-Piece Dinnerware Place Setting, Service for 1 (Kitchen)
We decided to buy new dinnerware for our anniversary and we are really pleased with this Sedona pattern! Everything fits in our cabinets except the 14 inch platter. Looks nice in the China hutch though. Everything fits in our dishwasher as well even the 14 inch platter! You can microwave the mug (16 oz.) with water to make tea etc. for 3 min. and the handle is still cool! There are so many extras you can purchase for this pattern from Amazon, Pfaltzgraff website etc. to complete an elegant set.
