- Is this set enough for a family of eight?
- Yes. The 24 pieces break down into eight dinner plates, eight salad plates, eight bowls and eight mugs, so eight people can eat at once.
- Is the Viola set dishwasher-safe?
- Yes, the porcelain is made for dishwasher use. Hand washing the mugs preserves the glaze longer, but it is not required.
- Can I put the plates in the oven or microwave?
- The set is not sold as oven-safe, so keep plates out of the oven. Microwave use is fine for warming food, but check the piece for metallic trim first.
- How does porcelain compare with stoneware here?
- Porcelain is denser and lighter, and it resists chipping better in normal use. Stoneware is heavier and usually more oven-friendly, so pick stoneware if you bake in your plates.
- Can I buy extra pieces in the same pattern?
- Matching open-stock Viola pieces are limited, so check the STONE LAIN line before relying on adding serving pieces later.
