- ⚠ Before you buy: Not oven or broiler safe, and there are no mugs - the 12 pieces are plates and bowls only.
Reactive glaze is what happens when you let the kiln have an opinion. On the Gibson Elite Earnestville set, a two-tone gray body emerges from firing with soft tonal shifts that make every plate slightly its own - the look people pay far more for at boutique potteries. Twelve pieces, service for four, in durable stoneware, and it arrives already gift boxed.
Key Features
- Two-Tone Reactive Glaze in Gray: The glaze reacts and pools during firing, so no two pieces are identical. This is the finish that makes an inexpensive set look like a small-batch one.
- Full Service for Four: A dinner plate, dessert plate, and cereal bowl for each of four people - a complete everyday table.
- Compact Plate Diameters: At 10.4 inches, the dinner plates are a touch smaller than the usual 10.75 - worth knowing if your cabinets are tight, and a plus in small kitchens.
- Durable Stoneware: Substantial, chip-resistant, and warm in a way porcelain is not.
- Microwave and Dishwasher Safe: There is no metallic trim on this set, so it goes in both.
- Arrives Gift Boxed: Presentation-ready for a wedding, housewarming, or holiday.
Before You Buy
- The dinner plates are 10.4 inches: Slightly smaller than a typical 10.75-inch plate. Unnoticeable for most people, and a bonus in tight cabinets - but check if you want full-size plates.
- No mugs: The 12-piece configuration is dinner plates, dessert plates, and cereal bowls - four of each.
- Not oven or broiler safe: Microwave and dishwasher only.
- Glaze variation is inherent: Tonal shifts between pieces come from the reactive firing. It is the reason to choose this set, not a defect.
- Avoid thermal shock: No freezer-to-microwave transitions, and stoneware holds heat - use a towel on hot plates.

Frequently Asked Questions▼
Q: Why does each plate look a little different?
A: Reactive glaze. The glaze chemistry shifts during firing, so tonal variation between pieces is inherent to the finish and is not a defect. It is the reason to choose this set.
Q: Is it microwave and dishwasher safe?
A: Yes to both. This set has no metallic trim.
Q: What color is it?
A: Gray. It is a two-tone reactive glaze, so the tone shifts across each piece and reads warmer or cooler depending on the light in your room.
Q: Are the plates full-size?
A: The dinner plates are 10.4 inches, slightly smaller than a typical 10.75-inch plate. For most people that is unnoticeable; for tight cabinets it is a bonus.
Q: Are there mugs?
A: No. The 12-piece configuration is dinner plates, dessert plates, and cereal bowls - four of each.
Q: Can it go in the oven?
A: No. Do not use it in an oven or under a broiler.
Care & Use▼
- Dishwasher safe on a normal cycle.
- Microwave safe. Stoneware holds heat - use a towel when removing hot plates.
- Do not use in a conventional oven or under a broiler.
- Avoid thermal shock such as freezer-to-microwave transitions.
- Expect piece-to-piece variation in the glaze; it is characteristic of the finish.
Why Choose Gibson Elite?▼
Gibson Elite is where Gibson Overseas puts its design work - reactive glazes, textured bodies, two-tone firings - at everyday prices. Firing a reactive glaze is harder and less predictable than spraying a flat colour, which is why most sets at this price do not attempt it. Gibson Overseas backs this piece with a limited lifetime warranty against original defects in workmanship and materials under normal household use (not commercial use), offering replacement of equal value with proof of purchase.
Shipping & Warranty
