Gibson Elite Mariani 16 Piece Stoneware Dinnerware Set in Brown

They are stoneware but not as heavy as most. Still to heavy for me. They are a light to medium brown. My favorite was the coffee cup---it is huge! Wish they would of continued the rippled effect, like they have, onto the dinnerware. Now if you saw the box-in the store-and bought them you would be shocked. N0, they look nothing like that which is a beautiful cream color/with brown swirls. In all honesty they are pretty plain. Remind me of the 70's or early 80's and the bowl, I did not think was all that shallow, which would be in that time period. But they would work for a Farmhouse look and if you want beige. Walmart is selling them for half the price! Returning mine.
