Amazon.comThe four identical salad plates in this set are designed to provide a floral accent to Noritake's Colorwave Graphite dinnerware. Each 8-1/2-inch plate features one bold iris reminiscent of Georgia O'Keeffe, not centered but offset to the side for a more freeform, modern look. One can almost feel the velvety petals of the black and blue-gray iris as it splays on a mint-green stem. In the throat of the iris the same green tints the pistil and stamens to complete the realistic look. All Colorwave pieces feature a glossy top or interior and matte exterior. While standard Graphite plates feature a white top, the background to the accent iris is washed a very subtle gray. The exterior is a matte finish, dark charcoal gray.Setting a table with clean, modern lines, Colorwave looks and feels spectacular in its simplicity. The beauty of the collection is that any Colorwave color mixes and matches with all other Colorwave pieces. Use purple or green serving dishes to dance with graphite place settings, or, for true fun, set each place setting with a different color. Made of durable stoneware, the plates in this set stand up to everyday use and are conveniently safe for the oven, microwave, and dishwasher. --Ann BieriProduct DescriptionColorwave Graphite is an everyday, contemporary stoneware dinnerware product that appeals to endless decorator tastes.
