Gibson Elite Soho Lounge Reactive Glaze Ceramic Dinnerware Set, Set of 4 (16 pieces), Sapphire

I received my dishes tonight and when I opened the box and took out the dishes I IMMEDIATELY noticed that the color does NOT match the photo here on Revain at all. It is described as a "sapphire blue" color and the set I received is more of a light blue or bluish gray color. From the photos I've included it's hard to see just how different the cookware is. There really is a set.... especially with cups. Disappointed! to put it mildly.

Pros
  • PACKAGE CONTENTS: Set for 4, including 4 of the following list: 11" Dinner Plates, 8.25 6" Dessert Plates ( 31 pcs. OZ) 12oz Cereal Bowls & Mugs
Cons
  • Available in White Only

The colors don't match and the blue isn't what I expected

I'm immediately disappointed. I love the style and while I'm writing this review within an hour of receiving it, I felt it was important to let you know that this blue sapphire color is not what you expected. Judging by the picture in the description gallery it looks a very rich blue, this is not the case throughout the set except for the cups although I wonder if this is due to the shadow. The color is more like a baby blue, if I had known that I would have gone for purple or some other gray…

Pros
  • CARE INSTRUCTIONS: nice crockery that can be washed in the dishwasher and used in the microwave
Cons
  • boring packaging

Stylish but broken too easily.

I replaced my existing dishes with this set. For comparison, I bought my last set from Target and it lasted almost 10 years. I've owned this set for less than a year. I wash dishes by hand, and the hardest surface in my apartment is linoleum over wood. Most of it is covered with carpets. (I say I rarely break anything.) Two mugs, a small plate and one of the bowls are already broken - so many broken that I'm buying new ones now. Dishes. I'll readily admit I'm a clumsy, but I'm not THAT clumsy…

Pros
  • CERAMIC/DOUBLE REACTIVE GLAZES: Reactive technology means multiple colors in a glaze interact with each other to create a dreamy, vibrant quality of color and shade. Thanks to the reactive nature of the glaze, each piece of porcelain stoneware is unique. The high firing temperature, the thick structure and the mixture of purely natural clays make porcelain stoneware an incredibly durable material.
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
