Duralex Made In France Lys 8 Inch Clear Calotte Plate, Set of 6

We purchased these to supplement very similar dishes that have performed superbly for years, and which are physically identical to these. We now believe our original tempered glass bowls are in fact well made knock-offs of these (they don't bear the name). We had been looking for months for identical replacements as they have been unquestionably the most generally useful dish we have ever owned (and I am an octogenarian). Extremely durable, easy to clean, and tremendously adaptable.

The quality is good. The product I received is much different from what is in the picture. The picture shows a bowl but I received plates. Please do put up a real photo of the product.

My original set of these from 25 years ago are still going strong ... no chips, and not a single one has cracked.We routinely use these in the microwave, so reviews that say they crack in the microwave are puzzling to me.The only reason I purchased another 12 of these, is because over the years they have become etched and scratched from knife use and dishwasher washings. I have not discarded them. In fact, my husband and I use them for our daily meals, but now have a new second set to use when friends stop by for an impromptu meal.The size and shape of these bowls are so versatile, they are by far, the dishes we use most everyday. They are almost like dinner plates with rims to prevent sloshing and spills.Dinner sized salads can be tossed and eaten without spilling over the sides, works great for a stew or curry, and anything with a gravy or sauce. . . especially for casual dining away from the dining table, ie on the sofa holding this bowl in your lap.This is also my dish of choice to use whenever a recipe that says to brown something in the pan, then set aside. I put my cooked proteins in this bowl and it easily holds all the juices that come out while the protein rests.As a side note, they are space saving and nest and stack well in the cabinet and also in the dishwasher.

Plates are pretty, unfortunately there were some specks inside the glass base . Sadly return them

Thoughtfully packaged.Arrived without any chips out cracks.Beautiful bowls: simple, elegant, and versatile.Microwave safe and dishwasher safe.
