Meritage Bavaria 16-Piece Scallop Rim Bone China Dinnerware Set, Service for 4 - White
Meritage Bavaria 16-Piece Scallop Rim Bone China Dinnerware Set in White
Meritage made the Bavaria set out of bone china, and that word is doing real work here. Bone china is lighter, whiter and stronger than stoneware or standard porcelain - it is the material of formal dinnerware - and a scalloped rim gives each piece a soft, slightly old-world edge. What is unusual is that this one is microwave and dishwasher safe, so it does not have to live in the china cabinet waiting for a holiday.
What's Included
- 4 x dinner plates
- 4 x salad plates
- 4 x bowls
- 4 x mugs
Key Features
- Genuine Bone China: Lighter and stronger than stoneware, with the translucent whiteness that only bone china gives. This is the material formal dinnerware is made from.
- Scalloped Rim: A soft, wave-edged rim that reads classic rather than fussy - and it catches light beautifully across a set table.
- Crisp All-White, No Banding: No gold trim, no silver band - which is exactly why it can go in the microwave, unlike most formal china.
- Microwave Safe: The rare formal-looking set that will reheat your leftovers. No metallic trim means no restriction.
- Dishwasher Safe: Machine wash the whole set. Formal appearance, everyday rules.
- Complete 16-Piece Service for Four: Dinner plates, salad plates, bowls and mugs - a full four-place setting, mugs included.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is bone china, and why does it matter?
A: Bone china is a fine, strong, lightweight ceramic body with a characteristic translucent whiteness. It is stronger and thinner than stoneware, which is why formal dinnerware is traditionally made from it.
Q: Can bone china really go in the microwave?
A: This set can. Formal china often cannot - but only because of metallic gold or platinum trim. The Bavaria set has no trim at all, and it is rated microwave and dishwasher safe.
Q: What does the 16-piece set include?
A: Four dinner plates, four salad plates, four bowls and four mugs - a complete service for four.
Q: Is there any gold or silver banding?
A: No. It is crisp all-white with a scalloped rim and no metallic trim.
Q: Is it oven safe?
A: No oven rating is published for this set, so we do not claim one. Use it for serving and reheating.
Care & Use
- Dishwasher safe.
- Microwave safe - there is no metallic trim on any piece.
- Avoid thermal shock (freezer to hot oven, or microwave to cold water).
- Stack with cloth or felt separators; bone china is strong but the glaze still scratches over years of stacking.
Why Choose Meritage?
Bone china at a service-for-four price point is genuinely unusual - most sets in this range are stoneware or standard ceramic. Meritage's Bavaria uses the finer body and pairs it with a scallop rim and no metallic banding, which is what makes it both formal-looking and microwave-safe. You rarely get both.
