I love the color and size of these plates. I already had some and wanted more as dessert plates. They do chip, but not often (I think two of my first six plates chipped over the course of four years). The handles of the corresponding mugs heat up too much in the microwave. But I wanted more plates enough to look them up on the internet after my source store stopped selling them.

Over the past few months, I have bought four each of the cherry, royal blue, and white plates. The purchases were to replace Corelle dinnerware that is 9 years old - the Corelle items were still in great condition, but we're changing the color theme in our kitchen.

I am very pleased with the quality of the plates! While, unlike the old Corelle stuff I had, they can't be used in the oven or microwave, they have performed quite well in the dishwasher. No chips or scratches showing up at all. The glaze is beautiful on all three colors and really compliments our kitchen theme - I imagine that all colors available are just as vivid and lovely!

One thing we were worried about, being ceramic, is that the small unglazed ring on the bottom of the plates would scratch the countertops (e.g., as the bottoms of mugs often do). We were pleased to discover that the unglazed ring was exceptionally smooth, and I haven't noticed any scratches on the countertops at all.

I am waiting for Amazon to post sales on the other Waechtersbach products and will buy them up one at a time. The Waechtersback webpage also has decent sales, intermittently, on items not sold at Amazon.

I love these plates! I got them at Kohl's years ago. My old roomate broke one of my salad plates and I finally decided to replace it. You can't get a better price than Amazon for these plates. The salad ones are the best size for my dishwasher. Plus, it helps with portion control. I hope they continue to make these plates for my lifetime.

These are pretty good quality, the color is a little different. I am not wowed mainly because I don't love the color but the price was good.

This is my second order of these (only reason I needed more is because we broke a few). Waechterbach is a great brand. They are durable, stand up in washer & microwave extremly well. Very pretty red with any decor.

I purchased these to replace some other stoneware plates I broke. Those plates were not being made anymore so I was in a quandary looking for something that would somehow go with my set. Luckily these Waechtersbach blue plates are the exact blue as the trim on my others - so it worked out perfectly! They seem to be of pretty good quality, made in Germany - you know they don't make cheap stuff!
