Gibson Ultra White Shadow 12-Piece Opal Glass Dinnerware Set, Service for 4 - White
Gibson Ultra White Shadow 12-Piece Opal Glass Dinnerware Set in White
Opal glass is the answer for households that break plates. Gibson Ultra's White Shadow set (model 985122237M) is made from break-resistant, non-porous opal glass with a high-gloss white finish - thinner and lighter than stoneware, dramatically tougher, and completely stain-proof because there is no porous body for anything to soak into. Gibson's own testing puts its opal glass at roughly three times more impact-resistant and four times more chip-resistant than stoneware.
What's Included
- 4 x 10 in dinner plates
- 4 x 7 in dessert plates
- 4 x 24 fl oz cereal bowls
Key Features
- Break-Resistant Opal Glass: Gibson's internal testing rates its opal glass at approximately 3x the impact resistance and 4x the chip resistance of stoneware.
- Completely Non-Porous: Glass does not absorb stains, sauces or odors - tomato and turmeric leave nothing behind.
- Lighter Than Stoneware: Noticeably lighter to carry, stack and hand to a child than a comparable ceramic set.
- High-Gloss White: A clean, bright white that goes with any table setting and makes food the focus.
- Freezer Safe: Portion and freeze straight in the bowls - a genuinely useful property most dinnerware does not have.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is opal glass actually tougher than ceramic?
A: Gibson's internal testing rates its opal glass at about 3x the impact resistance and 4x the chip resistance of stoneware. We present that as the manufacturer's claim.
Q: Is it dishwasher safe?
A: Yes - dishwasher safe and freezer safe.
Q: Is it microwave safe?
A: Retailer listings disagree on this point. Home Depot's bullets state dishwasher and freezer safe without mentioning the microwave, while other retailer copy for the same set claims microwave safe. Because the sources conflict, we do not make a microwave claim.
Q: Will it stain?
A: No. Opal glass is non-porous, so sauces, coffee and turmeric will not soak in.
Care & Use
Dishwasher and freezer safe. As with all glass, avoid extreme thermal shock - do not take a plate from the freezer directly into a hot oven or pour boiling liquid into a chilled bowl. Do not use in the oven. Discard any piece that develops a chip or crack.
