Noritake Menorca Palace Set of 4 Dinner Plates

BEAUTIFUL bone China that is aesthetically pleasing but ALSO both dishwasher and microwave safe. That is a hard combo to find when looking for China sets. This is our first China purchase since we've been married (over 17 years) and we absolutely LOVE it! We use it for our everyday dishes. My mom's generation would only use for special occasions, but we figure every day is a special day because you are alive. The only criticism I have is each dish had a sticker that had to be removed and the stickers were the kind that don't come off easily. We purchased a 12 place setting so I was not happy about removing stickers from all the plates, small plates, cereal and soup bowls. I broke some of my nails and it took me over an hour to remove all the stickers. Why would you use stickers on every single dish? And if you are going to use stickers, use the kind that come right off like other dinnerware and cookware I have purchased in the past. But again, as for the China itself, absolutely no complaints, superior quality and gorgeous!!

Beautiful and unique bone china! This is our first set of china ever and after researching we wanted bone china. The pattern is elegant but also practical for every day use and the bone china is very durable and lightweight. I am so glad I bought a 12 place setting because I believe this pattern has been discontinued. I am only sad I was not able to get the charger plates before it was discontinued. I also love that these dishes are microwaveable and dishwasher safe because so many are not with the gold and silver rimmed style dishes. I will always and only buy bone china if I ever need a new set of dishes--nothing like this! The BEST!
