- Is the Gibson Elite Matisse set microwave and dishwasher safe?
- Yes. All pieces are rated for both dishwasher and microwave use, so it works for reheating and everyday cleanup.
- How many people does the 16-piece set serve?
- It serves four. Each place setting gets a 10.5-inch dinner plate, an 8.5-inch dessert plate, a 5.25-inch cereal bowl and an 8.25-inch dinner bowl.
- Why do the pieces look different from each other?
- The set uses a reactive glaze, which reacts in the kiln and produces a mottled, uneven finish. Variation between pieces is expected, not a defect.
- Is stoneware heavier than porcelain?
- Yes. Stoneware is denser and thicker, so this set feels heavier in hand and weighs more stacked in a cabinet than a comparable porcelain set.
- Can I add more place settings later?
- Only if you find the same Matisse pattern sold separately. Reactive glaze batches vary, so added pieces may not match your existing set exactly.
- Does it stack well in a cabinet?
- Plates stack normally, but the wide dinner bowls are bulky and take more shelf height than shallow bowls.

- At eBay, for $66.99, as of our latest check.
