Costco's New 16-Piece Stoneware Dinnerware Set Is the Definition of Everyday Chic

In the world of tableware, people tend to fall into two camps: ceramic people and stoneware people. And if you're a stoneware person, you already know it's less about being fancy and more about wanting dishes that feel sturdy and cozy but still a little elevated. Stoneware has a substantial weight to it that makes even a relatively ho-hum weeknight dinner feel more restaurant-worthy. It's durable, usually a little more resistant to chips than lighter ceramic pieces and has that perfectly imperfect look people love right now. That's mostly thanks to its soft speckles, earthy finishes and matte textures.

Stoneware fans also tend to love pieces that can do a little bit of everything. These are the dishes that go from microwave to dishwasher to dinner party without anyone stressing about them. Costco just added the loveliest stoneware set to its lineup of dinnerware offerings and the 16-piece set is under $50. Here's what you need to know.

Denmark 16-piece Dinnerware Set, $46.99 at Costco

If you've been wanting to give your kitchen a little refresh without completely redoing everything, the Denmark 16-piece Dinnerware Set at Costco is an easy upgrade-and it's stoneware. It comes in two really versatile colorways (blue or gray) so you can either lean into something soft and calming or keep things neutral and classic. The dishes definitely feel substantial in your hands without being overly heavy, and the simple design works for both everyday dinners and when you actually have people over.

You get four dinner plates, four salad plates, four soup bowls and four cereal bowls, so it's really everything you need to start fresh or replace mismatched pieces that have somehow survived way too long in the cabinet.

You might be asking yourself whether you really need separate cereal and soup bowls (I always wonder if I'm being redundant having both types). Technically, you don't. But once you have both, it makes a lot of sense.

Soup bowls and cereal bowls may seem interchangeable until you realize they actually serve pretty different purposes in everyday life. Soup bowls are usually wider and a little shallower, which makes them better for things like pasta, chili, ramen or soups that need room to cool down without sloshing everywhere. Cereal bowls tend to be deeper and more compact, making them perfect for cereal, oatmeal, ice cream or smaller portions.
