- Is this set really porcelain?
- Yes, the pieces are porcelain, which is fired denser than earthenware and generally more chip-resistant. It is still breakable, so avoid stacking heavy pans on the plates.
- Can the plates and cups go in the microwave?
- Yes, the set is microwave safe. The lemon print is applied under the glaze, so normal reheating is fine.
- How many people does it serve?
- It serves four: four dinner plates, four dessert plates, four bowls and four cups. There are no serving platters or extra mugs.
- Will the lemon pattern fade in the dishwasher?
- It is dishwasher safe, but printed decoration on porcelain can dull after many hot cycles. Use a gentle cycle and avoid harsh detergent if you want the print to stay sharp.
- How does it compare with a plain white porcelain set?
- You get the same porcelain build and the same four-place setting, but with a printed motif instead of a blank surface. Plain white is more versatile; this one is for people who want the lemon look.
- Are the bowls deep enough for cereal?
- They are on the shallow side. They work for cereal, dessert and side dishes, but hearty soups may need a larger bowl.
