Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sango Splash 5-Piece Completer Set
Customer Review: Great, inexpensive, multipurpose stoneware
Summary: 5 Stars
I just received my first set of these dishes, and now that I know I love them I'm going to order more. Since they've only been used (and through the microwave and dishwasher) once so far, I can't attest to durability, but really, ALL stoneware has the potential to chip and it's so inexpensive it's not a big deal to get replacements. (There are places online that sell individual pieces if you don't need a whole new set.) I gave this set five stars not because it is the ultimate in stoneware, but because you can't beat the price for the beauty that you get. Yes, I would love to get 12 place settings of gorgeous, high-quality, handmade stoneware from a local potter, but that would be prohibitively expensive and I would be very upset every time a piece broke or chipped. Of course, the reason this stoneware is so inexpensive is that it's made in China by people earning next to nothing. I prefer to buy locally made products to support OUR economy, but I made an exception here.
The unusual (yet subdued) colors and patterns are what led me to order, and I wasn't disappointed. There is also great textural interest since the base is a matte (not shiny) glaze, and the "splashes" are a glossy glaze. One thing to note is that when they say there are surface irregularities, they really mean it. Each piece is slightly different from all other pieces, but I feel this just adds to the charm and the "handmade" look and feel. I have a very casual home and these pieces fit right in, even for special events like holidays and parties. They are so unusual that I'm sure they'll receive lots of compliments. If you are the type that needs perfectly matched china/crystal, then these are not for you, but if you're a bit eclectic and appreciate the "imperfect" and "earthy" characteristics, you will love them.
Description of Sango Splash 5-Piece Completer Set
12" Platter, 8.5" Serve Bowl, Sugar Bowl w/lid, CreamerSango designed this earthy dinnerware in the vein of Javanese pottery from Indonesia. Looking distinctly handmade, the Splash pattern shows every brushstroke swirl of matte brown and ochre glaze. Overlaid on the matte background of each piece are three splashes of glossy glaze, a milky coffee color bleeding into shades of green and blue. The result is a casual dinnerware set in which no two pieces are exactly the same.
Accessorizing Sango Splash dinnerware, this five-piece set includes a 12-inch serving platter for hors d'oeuvres, sandwiches, and more; a 9-by-3-1/4-inch serving bowl for vegetables, fruit, salad; and a cream and sugar set. Both the sugar bowl and creamer are delightfully rotund in an oval form, and the lid on the bowl features two pinch dents for lifting. Made of stoneware with reactive glazes, the everyday ware is safe for the microwave and dishwasher. Other Sango Splash accessories, such as salt and pepper shakers and baking pans, are available separately to complete the collection. --Ann Bieri
