Actually, these dishes "dress up" nicely too. They have such a nice smooth creamy finish they are classic. I use a very modern Finlandia set and also a beaded edge set, more traditional. They compliment both.

What ever style you like. That's what so wonderful about these dishes. We started with the fake wood handle ones we had for years, then just switched it up to a very fancy set we also had and used for "good". Once we realized the "good" was everyday, we started using them. Our Fancy is Oneida Michelangelo

Any silverware would look good. The shape and depth of plates and bowls are quite modern to me, and the sheen of the plates is very nice, almost mother of pearl sheen. Very nice and would blend well with any kind of placemat and accents on your table. Hope this helps.

Not sure what you are asking but, yes they are good size but, no right size for regular folks. My husband has big hands and I have small and we both use the silverware w/o any problems. We really like the set.

Modern is hard to address... But I can tell you the silverware is slender and balances nicely in the hand. I was happy with my choice.

Sorry I don't know the answer to that. They are not as thick as my regular silverware if that helps.

Hi ASC...I've had 3 sets of this dinnerware & though I don't use it for everyday, I have had no problem at all with scratches and mine are now about 4 years old. I do take care when I stack them but have never put any covering between. They are nicely heavy (I like that, some may not) so I suspect if one wasn't careful they might cause some damage, but I would think it would have to be from pretty harsh handling. I have been delighted with my sets & quite enjoy using them from time to time & especially at Christmas (that's why I got 3 sets). So far I've never had a piece chipped, cracked, or broken. And by the way, I'm in my 70's and can lift them just fine but if I was going to have a group of older folks to entertain, I would not use them to entertain buffet style. I find them lovely as do my company. No matter how attractive & fancy some of the paper or plastic plates are, I find they are generally not sturdy enough for other than picnics or backyard outings. Hope yours works as well for you as they have for me! Rh

We have had our plates for about 8 months - and have no black marks from silverware or anything else. The plates look beautiful, have held up in the dishwasher well - and show no signs of wear.

The trim is silver. Very nice plates. My guess wanted to wash them for me to keep.

no, These are heavy weight paper plates that are great for parties where guests may have to carry their food around. Only drawback for me is that they don't come in colors. use colored napkins and plastic ware to liven up look.

I'd suggest looking at your decor. We have a kitchen with mostly stainless steel appliances and brownish tiles, so the combination of the silver front and the light-colored wood looks good there.

No problem at all. These are wonderful dishes. I own at least a dozen different sets and I reach for these often.

The dishes are white, what I would call an ivory white or similar. It is not a bright white like a Corelle dish but a nice off white. The pictures (at least on my monitor) are pretty close to how they actually appear.

Hello E. J.,I do not know. We found the size of the pieces too large to be comfortable and returned them. I cannot understand why new silverware has to be gigantic. Sorry but I do not have an answer.

The dishes are good size...large dinner plates, soups are shallow but wide enough to still hold enough. I love them!

Yes, your basswood plates look beautifull, the look in not a stain, is more like satin varnish

I have the Vanilla Rice set, and I think they are just right. Lighter than stoneware, but feel substantial in the hand. They are not fragile dishes. I have pretty serious Arthritis in my neck, shoulders, and hands, and I have no trouble with them.

Love the dishes, but they are rather large and do take up some space in the dishwasher. For my his and and I we eat off the smaller plates and use the larger ones when we have company. Lots of compliments on their appearance and you can easily blend in with other sets.
