How many people does it serve?

It serves four: the 20 pieces make four complete place settings. A household of six or more would need two sets.

Can the plates go in the oven and microwave?

Yes. Elama lists every piece as oven safe, microwave safe and dishwasher safe.

Stoneware is heavier and holds heat longer, which suits oven-to-table use. Porcelain is lighter and thinner but usually not oven safe.

The set covers four place settings with dinner plates, salad plates, bowls and mugs. It does not include serving platters or a bowl.

The price shown beside this page is already near the low end of its recent range. Watch for holiday kitchen sales for a further drop.

It is a fair value for 20 pieces of oven-safe stoneware. Comparable patterned stoneware sets often cost more per place setting.
