Signature Housewares Sorrento Collection 11-Inch Dinner Plates, Gold Antiqued Finish, Set of 6
Created by tableware designer and gourmet cook Debbie Segura in 2001, Sorrento is perhaps Signature Houseware's most popular dinnerware pattern. Sorrento stoneware suits almost any kitchen décor with its rustic, Italian countryside feel, showing a raised dot and olive leaf patterning on most of the solid-colored, thickly-glazed pieces. Square plates are also available, and bakeware and glassware complete the extensive collection, now available in more than half a dozen colors ranging from neutral suede to bright ruby red.The Sorrento 11-inch round dinner plate (a square version is also available) forms the heart of the place setting. The rimmed plate features a row of raised dots all along the very edge, with Sorrento's signature three-leaf design spaced at regular intervals. Perfect for everyday dining yet attractive enough for special occasions, the plates set a striking table with the wealth of coordinating pieces available. Completely lead-free, the chip-resistant stoneware may go in a low-temperature oven or a microwave for warming food, and cleans up without fuss in the dishwasher. The set of six dinner plates, all the same color, makes a great gift for the Sorrento collector.--Ann Bieri
