Gibson Elite Earlhart 12-Piece Reactive Glaze Stoneware Dinnerware Set - Cream, 4 Embossed Designs, Service for 4

Gibson Elite Earlhart 12-Piece Reactive Glaze Embossed Stoneware Dinnerware Set

Four different embossed patterns, one cream reactive glaze, and a set that looks like it was collected over years rather than bought in a box. Gibson Elite's Earlhart set is the curated mix-and-match look done properly: each place setting carries its own raised relief design, and the reactive glaze means no two pieces come out of the kiln exactly alike.

What's Included

• 4 x dinner plates, 10.5 in
• 4 x dessert plates, 8.25 in
• 4 x cereal bowls, 6 in

Key Features

• Four Assorted Embossed Designs: Each place setting has a different raised relief pattern. Set the table and it reads as a collected, curated set rather than a matched twelve-piece.
• Reactive Glaze Finish: Reactive glazes shift and pool in the kiln, so every piece has its own subtle variation. This is the intended artisanal effect, not an inconsistency.
• Cream, Not Stark White: Gibson's own name for this colorway is Cream - a warm off-white that plays well with wood, linen and stoneware serveware. Retailers often list it as white.
• Embossed Relief You Can Feel: The pattern is raised into the body, not printed on top of it, which is why the set still looks good after five years in a dishwasher.
• Ships in a Gift Box: Ready to give without rewrapping.
• No Metallic Trim: Nothing gold, silver or metallic anywhere on the set.
• Expandable Line: Earlhart also includes a 16 oz mug and 6 in soup/cereal bowl sets, so you can grow the set later.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is it white or cream?
A: Gibson calls it Cream. Retailers - including Best Buy and Home Depot - list it as White. It is a warm off-white with a reactive glaze, so you should expect cream rather than stark bright white.

Q: Are all twelve pieces the same pattern?
A: No. There are four assorted embossed designs, so each place setting is different. That mix is the whole point of the set.

Q: Will the pieces look identical to each other?
A: No, and they are not meant to. Reactive glaze varies from piece to piece as it fires - the depth of color and the way it pools in the embossing will differ slightly. That variation is the intended, premium characteristic of the line.

Q: Is it microwave and dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, per Gibson's published care policy for its stoneware and porcelain dinnerware. There is no metallic trim on this set, so there is nothing to disqualify it from the microwave.

Q: Is this Gibson Home or Gibson Elite?
A: Gibson Elite. Some product feeds - including ours previously - listed it as Gibson Home. The manufacturer's own catalog puts it under Gibson Elite, their upper line.

Q: Can I add matching mugs later?
A: Yes. The Earlhart line includes a 16 oz mug and 6-inch soup/cereal bowl sets.

Care & Use

Dishwasher and microwave safe per Gibson's published dinnerware care policy. Avoid thermal shock - no freezer-to-oven, no cold water on a hot plate.

Reactive-glaze surfaces have subtle texture in the embossed relief. Use a sponge rather than a scouring pad; abrasives will eventually dull the glaze in the recesses of the pattern.

Why Choose Gibson Elite?

Gibson Elite is Gibson Overseas' upper line, and Earlhart shows why: reactive glazing and four distinct embossed reliefs are genuine craft processes, not printed decoration. Gibson has been supplying American tables since 1980 and backs this set with a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
