ROUNDUP: EVERYDAY WHITE DISHES

roundup-everyday-white-dishes-homestories-de-smet-dossier

The search for the perfect everyday white dishes is as hard to find as the perfect white paint color. We started our search for everyday white dishes over a year ago, with only a few criteria in mind: durable (microwave, oven and dishwasher safe), slightly organic shape (not perfectly symmetrical, with a handmade feeling) and deep bowls (we make a lot of ramen in our house). We found it best to buy a single set of your potential everyday white dishes (one setting: dinner plate, salad plate and bowl) to use for a few weeks before committing. This will give you an opportunity to see if the size, weight, durability, color and material meets your expectations. Are they too heavy once food is placed on them? Are they big enough for the food portion size you usually eat? Do they work well with your glassware? Do they wash well? Are they too delicate when thrown in the sink with other dishes? Does the color look nice on your dining table or favorite table-cloth? Here is a roundup of our top contenders.
