I didn’t pay attention that these plates were porcelain so they’re very delicate. They’re very contemporary looking which I love. However, the lip on the plates make them difficult to sit in my dishwasher all I can get them in there. You have to space them out same for the pasta and cereal bowls there odd shapes make them difficult to stack. Of course I do have a compact dishwasher so that may make a difference. ￼
