Libbey Crisa Moderno Dinner Plate, 10-1/2-Inch, Box of 12, Clear

Heavy weight clear glass NO LEAD plates…

I purchased these dinner plates and I am very happy with the quality. They all came nicely packaged from Amazon and not 1 plate was broken. The reason I was looking for glass dinnerware is because I learned that most colored dinnerware has LEAD in it. The LEAD is found in the glaze that is used on the plate to make it look colorful and also if the dinnerware has any pattern there is usually LEAD in it as well. Most dinnerware from MEXICO and CHINA are the ones that have the highest amounts of LEAD. I also read that if your dinnerware is not Microwave safe, it has LEAD. Lead reacts to microwave heat and the plates will get very hot to the touch while the food stays cool. LEAD is very dangerous for young children even in small amounts. I did not want my children eating off plates that have LEAD in them that could get them sick. There is tons of information on the internet about SPECIFIC companies that are known to use these TOXIC glazes, so read up and then make your decision…

Plates

I ordered these plates because they had a clean modern feeling and were both dishwasher and microwave safe. I emailed the manufacture to check and they stated they were microwave safe. However, I was disappointed when they arrived because one of them had a very large white inclusion in the middle of the glass. There was also a few others that minor imperfections in the glass. Because the product was relatively cheap for 12 plates, I decided to just throw away the one with the big white inclusion and keep the rest of the plates. But the quality is not what I expected.

Very nice.

Packaging was extremely thorough, would have been hard for any to break.

Plates are very nice. For less than $3/plate an excellent value.
