modern stoneware dinnerware set

Many modern stoneware listings highlight stackable or nestable designs. Tall, straight sides and gently raised rims are commonly used so plates and bowls can nest without sticking, making them easier to store and saving cabinet space.

Typical sizes listed are: dinner plates about 10.25–10.6 inches, salad/dessert plates about 7.75–8.2 inches, and bowl diameters commonly around 5.3–6 inches.

Listed mug capacities commonly include about 10 oz, 12 oz, 13 oz and 16 oz. Bowl capacities cited include roughly 12 oz, 20 oz and 24 oz.

Some listings include full piece dimensions and weights. For example, a 20-piece listing gives: dinner plates 10.5 in diameter, 1 in height, 2 lb; dessert plates 8 in diameter, 0.8 in height, 1.1 lb; bowls 6 in diameter, 2.75 in height, 1.3 lb; fruit bowls 4.5 in diameter, 2.75 in height, 0.75 lb; mugs 4.75 in length, 3.5 in width, 3.6 in height, 13 oz capacity, 0.75 lb.
