Sandrine Stoneware Breakfast Set of 12 - Blue

This breakfast set gathers four cups, four bowls and four plates in blue stoneware, enough for one of each at four places around the table. Every piece carries a reactive glaze: a soft blue across the body that darkens to a deeper blue line along the rim. The rims are gently uneven and the cups have a rounded belly with a small ring handle, so the whole table feels relaxed rather than uniform. The plates are 22cm across and 2cm tall, the bowls 15cm across and 8cm tall, and the cups 8.5cm across and 8cm tall.

It is sized for the first meal of the day. The 22cm plates are side or lunch plates rather than dinner plates, the right size for toast, a croissant or a pastry. The 15cm bowls take a serving of cereal, porridge or yoghurt and fruit, and work just as well later for soup or a side salad. The cups are for a morning tea or coffee. We like it for a couple who host friends at weekends, a small family kitchen, or a first home that needs its everyday pieces in one go, and it makes a thoughtful gift.

Stoneware is fired hard and dense, which makes it a sturdy material for daily use. A reactive glaze shifts as it fires, so the blue settles a little differently on each piece. All twelve pieces go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so you can warm the bowls before porridge and clear up without hand washing. The set weighs 5.516KG in total. The styling props shown are not included. For an easy table, stack each cup inside a bowl on its plate at every place, and let a plain linen cloth or bare wood show off the blue rims.

What is included in the set?

Twelve pieces in blue stoneware: four cups, four bowls and four plates. That is one of each for four places at the table.

How big are the plates and bowls?

The plates are 22cm across and 2cm tall, a side or lunch plate size. The bowls are 15cm across and 8cm tall, right for cereal, porridge or yoghurt.

How big are the cups?

The cups are 8.5cm across and 8cm tall, with a rounded body and a small ring handle. They are a good size for a morning tea or coffee.

Can it go in the dishwasher and microwave?

Yes. The maker states that every piece goes in the dishwasher and the microwave, and in the oven as well.

Is it stoneware or porcelain?

It is 100% stoneware, finished in a reactive glaze that gives a soft blue body and a deeper blue line at the rim.

Will every piece look the same?

Not quite. A reactive glaze shifts during firing, so the blue settles a little differently on each piece, and the rims are gently uneven.
