I should have replace my dishes LONG ago. I have a few basic, white corelleware dishes from 20+ years ago. While I had ceramic dishes, the white corelle ware was somewhat of a 'go to'. We finally ditched the ceramic and purchased a set of groovy square dinner dishes, lunch plates & bowls and because of how nicely/compactly they stack, we freed up another whole shelf in our kitchen cabinet! We opted for the simple lines dinner plates, and got the timber shadows salad plates. What a great combination! The 6.5" plates are also perfect for covering the square bowls in the microwave to avoid messes. These are nice enough to entertain with as well. Bye bye china. Super happy with these!
