Conversational Dinnerware with Stoneware Plates

As you start to think about your dinnerware essentials, consider stoneware dinner plates as part of your casual, contemporary rotation. At Williams Sonoma, you'll find a range of styles to choose from to suit your table setting. Whether you're cooking up an easy weeknight meal or prepping for a fancy weekend feast with friends, our plates are made to go the distance and span every occasion.

Why Choose Stoneware Plates?

Stoneware dinner plates add a little something special to your table setting thanks to their sleek glazed finishes. Choose from options like a reactive glaze, matte glaze or enamel glaze. The glazing process adds a stylish sheen to the look of your plates. High-fired stoneware pieces are especially durable. Glazing helps make your dinner plates more resistant to chips, scratches and stains. Stoneware plates are also safe for use in the microwave and dishwasher--an easy option for everyday use and special dinner parties alike. Look for options that are also oven or freezer friendly!

Colors, Designs and Features

From crisp, versatile white dinner plates to vibrant multi-colored dinner plates, you'll find a range of solid-hued shades and dynamic patterns to suit your dining room aesthetic. Color options include everything from bold greens and reds to warm beiges and grays. Bring modern finesse to your tabletop decor with black dinner plates or embrace seasonal tones with mustard plates.

When it comes to patterns and designs, we've got you covered. Explore Williams Sonoma dinnerware pieces like our Italian-inspired plates, styled with bold blue hues and a richly detailed border along the rim. Choose our jewel-hued reactive glaze plates finished with ombre shading. Watch your table setting blossom with our floral plates.

If smooth finishes aren't quite what you're looking for, consider adding a touch of visual texture to your dinnerware. Explore features like textural bee shapes and embossed details. A matte rim adds cool contrast to a glossy glaze for a distinctly modern look. Bring a sophisticated statement to your next meal with stoneware dinnerware styled with a hand-painted patina. Or, opt for plates with an organic shape or subtle scalloped detail for something unique.
