Like. by Villeroy and Boch – Lave Bleu Dinner Plate, 28 cm, Large Flat Plate Made from Stoneware, Dishwasher and Microwave-Safe

Nice dinner plate, with a gorgeous deep colourJust like the pictureI bought them to mix and match with my Denby rangeNice quality but I suspect more fragile than my Denby dinner plates

I like the shape and heaviness. It looks exquisite. I would've like something more rustic but this look special anyway.

Update - These plates may be dishwasher and microwave safe - but they are NOT oven-safe!If you like to warm your plates in the oven, forget it. They break, even in a warm oven. My second photo shows the result. At first I thought that I was just unlucky - but when I contacted the manufacturer, they informed me that these plates WILL break if used in an oven.Which makes them pretty much useless as far as I'm concerned - I like to serve hot food on hot plates!That is a great shame, because these are beautiful plates. But ultimately, a waste of money.Unless you eat nothing but salad.Here is my original review.These plates are very niceThe asymmetric shape gives them a hand-crafted appearance, the deep blue colour, combined with the speckled pattern from the reactive glaze and the "burnt" edge make these plates look as if they came from an artisan pottery.Fortunately, they don't have an artisan pottery price tag. I think that they are excellent value for money.My slight disappointment is because the speckled glaze is not a prominent on these side plates as it is on the dinner plates that I purchased at the same time. Maybe it would be on another batch - the manufacturer does say that no two plates will have exactly the same appearance. That, for me, is part of their charm.Sadly, one plate arrived broken, due to the absence of packing material in the bottom of the box. These side plates were sent from Amazon's German warehouse, while my matching dinner plates were sent from within the UK. If you read the reviews, you will see that many customers have mentioned breakages that came from the German warehouse.A minor inconvenience is that I now have to trudge into town to a UPS pick-up shop in order to return the broken plate for a refund. One would have thought that submitting a photo of the broken plate would have been sufficient.

Simply beautiful handmade plate, lovely colour not to heavy but still solid and came very well packaged.Would definitely be buying more from this seller again.
