Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Graced by a floral pattern in blue with green and orange accents, this casual dinnerware pattern called Orleans adds a wash of color to the table. Particularly striking is the salad/dessert plate's textured blue center, which evokes old pottery. The set consists of four complete place settings: a 10-1/2-inch dinner plate, an 8-inch salad/dessert plate, a 5-1/2-inch soup/cereal bowl, an 8-ounce cup, and a 6-inch saucer. Made of heavy stoneware, Orleans pieces are chip-resistant; safe in the oven, freezer, microwave, and dishwasher; carry a three-year warranty against defects; and can be replaced individually. Pfaltzgraff manufactures Orleans dinnerware, glassware, and accessories. --Fred Brack

Product Description

Vines meander, their tendrils forming graceful curlicues, around the borders of Orleans. A classic palette of blue and green on white is always in style. Small orange buds provide a little unexpected burst of color.

3.0 out of 5 stars These are Seconds, January 22, 2003

Wendy writes that the plates warped after rinsing; they didn't warp, these dishes are seconds. Pfaltzgraff sells these through Amazon at such a great price because they are rejects. They're not bad enough that you would notice when unpacking, washing, setting the table or using them. They sit flat because the bottoms are at least that. But you will notice the warped or bowed shapes when they are stacked in your cupboard. The trim applique on the bowls were not perfectly applied, etc. They are still sturdy, solid dishes but I would have preferred to know that I was buying seconds.

1.0 out of 5 stars Flat ware leaves silver marks, high maintenance, December 9, 2002

I bought my Pfaltzgraff last year after using generic stoneware from K-Mart for about 15 years. My pattern is different, but I assume the results would be the same.

I have been very disappointed in my set of Pfaltzgraff because it is high maintenance. Flatware leaves gray marks on the surface whenever it comes in contact with the stoneware. Which, of course, happens every time you eat!

Gray marks all over your dinner plates is not good! In fact, it requires a special cleaner, "Pfaltzgraff Stoneware & Porcelain Cleaner", and a fair amount of elbow grease, to get the marks off!!! And, even after you have them all clean, the very first time you actually eat on them, the marks are back. This is true using my everyday flatware, AND also true when I tried my silver flatware.

Never, NEVER, NEVER did I every have to clean my generic stoneware other than throw it in the dishwasher.

1.0 out of 5 stars cheap plates; poor craftmanship, December 25, 2002

I purchased these plates and stored them in my kitchen cabinet after rinsing them off. I went back to the cabinet a few days later and noticed that the plates were warping. The care manual said to avoid soaking the plates in water because it will cause warping once the plate is heated but, they warped from just rinsing. I recommend this set to those who are looking for disposable plates because after rinsing, it will be in a condition that you would not like to keep them anymore.
