Noritake Colorwave Graphite 20-Piece Value Dinnerware Set, Service for 4

I have had Noritake products for several decades. The dished are lasting and beautiful. I have had this product for about five years. I frequently get compliments on it. In addition, I recently purchased an additional cup and an additional small bowl. Noritake is my favorite source for dinnerware and other dishes.

I purchased four sets each of two plate sizes and two bowl sizes. The dinnerware itself is excellent - high quality, beautifully shaped, and perfectly sized. They stack efficiently, fit easily into the dishwasher, and look fantastic on the table. However, prepping them for use was incredibly frustrating. Every single piece came with a product sticker baked onto the back that was nearly impossible to remove. I spent most of my day trying to clean them off. I tried Goo Gone, rubbing alcohol, hot water soaks, plastic scrapers, and various DIY oil-and-abrasive pastes I found online. Even after hours of scrubbing with dish-safe sponges, some pieces still have brown stains from the stubborn glue residue. It is a shame that such an awful unboxing experience ruins an otherwise really nice product. The manufacturer seriously needs to switch to easy-peel stickers.

I registered for these place settings and bakeware in 2011 when I got married, and they are still going strong! We've added 2 kids to the mix so there have been 1 or 2 plates broken from being dropped, but I still have 95% of the pieces I originally received. I'm sure they'll last another 15 years!

When I first got married 26 years ago I was gifted the color wave settings in blue. These dishes are sturdy and beautiful and has lasted through 2 boys. For my anniversary I have updated my place settings with the graphite color. I look forward to using these beautiful dishes another 25 years with grand children!

I've been adding to this set for a couple of years. I have Noritake China, so I bought the Colorwave Set in Graphite. I use this set every day and it is a sturdy solid set. I add to it whenever I find a new piece. I recently saw the tablecloth, napkins, and placemat and bought them. I even have the spoons, forks, and knives. I took a picture when I received the tablecloth and could not wait to set the table to share with my friends.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very pretty set. Vey nice pattern. They are well made.

Have been using Colorwave for many, many years now. I even mix some of the colors. Love the sturdy yet elegant, classy nature of the set. I use it for every day and now that I've moved into a bigger place, love that I could just buy an extra set and use it for entertaining as well. It's an all-around GREAT product.

Dapple luncheon plate added a pop of color & contrast to my graphite place setting.

I love this bowl that I was looking for it. I love it!!

I was disappointed in how shallow the dish really is,

I bought this set for the plates and the mugs, which are the ideal size. The mugs aren’t soup bowls or espresso size, just perfect for morning coffee. It was nice to find a set that came with bread and butter plates and salad plates. I already had a good set of cereal bowls so the small size of the bowls in this set wasn’t an issue. I am thinking they were originally designed as finger bowls. I use them for dipping sauces and other condiments like olives. The quality is excellent.

I bought the Noritake Colorwave Chip & Dip set in two different colors. I really like how deep the "chip" section is because it holds more food in place... resulting in fewer refills and less mess, especially during a party. The set has many uses which is also a major plus. For example, it may be used for fresh fruit with yogurt or chocolate sauce in the "dip" bowl, or crackers and slices of beef stick with a cheese ball in the "dip" bowl, or the traditional chips and dip/salsa.

They look great and match the set of dishes. They are sturdy and clean well in the dishwasher. I only wish I could get some matching platters to go with them.

Beautiful set! The color is vibrant but not obnoxious and the quality is great. We didn’t realize the bowls were quite small but we use them all the time for sauces, dips, toppings.

Truly lovely. I was disappointed that the bowls are very small rice size because I can’t get the same color bowls in a more traditional cereal size. I ended up mixing and matching because I ordered before realizing the limitations of the inventory in this color. We.have grown to like the small bowls for smaller dessert portions.

This was a shower gift so they haven’t been used yet, but the bride loved them. Very classy looking dishes for serving.

Beautiful quality dinnerware and incredibly good customer service.

Great quality and cleans up so easily. Added cereal bowls to make the set perfect.

Love the size of this dip chip plate and bowl. I usually find the salsa bowl is too small. The proportions are perfect

Very happy about the design and while shopping experience
