Is this set microwave and dishwasher safe?

Yes. Oneida lists every piece as both dishwasher safe and microwave safe, so you can reheat and wash without hand care.

How many people does it serve?

Four. You get four dinner plates, four 8-inch salad plates and four 18-ounce bowls, with no mugs or serving pieces.

How does it compare with the rest of the 24 Seven line?

The 24 Seven line is Oneida's everyday porcelain with simple rims. This version adds the black rim; other versions are plain white or have colored bands, with the same shapes and sizes.

Will the black rims chip or fade?

The rims are glazed porcelain, not painted metal, so they hold up better than metallic trim. Still, several owners report chips from plates knocking together, so stack with care.

Can I add more place settings later?

Yes, if the black rim version stays in production. Buying a second 12-piece set doubles you to eight settings and keeps the look consistent.

What are the plate sizes?

The salad plates are 8 inches across and the bowls are 2.75 inches tall with an 18-ounce capacity. The dinner plates are the largest piece in the set.
