Oneida At Your Holiday Table (review)

Oneida is a name I've heard for a long time as a trusted brand for flatware. My mom's flatware {that she's owned and used for years} is made by Oneida and after all the use it's gotten, it still looks pretty nice.

I guess I didn't know that Oneida also made Dinnerware, Kitchenware, Drinkware, or even items for little ones to use. Recently, though, I was given a chance to review Oneida's Dinnerware.

I chose from the Culinaria Line. Here's a look at my set!

This is the Chili color with square plates.

We've been able to use it a little and I'm a pretty big fan. I'm not going to lie. We removed our everyday dishes and mixed these in with our Christmas plates for the season. I wasn't sure how I would feel about the square shape but it's perfect for my unique edge. {I often want things that are just a little different than the next person's.}

In my home, I'm a pretty big fan of red accents in our decor. I just love a nice punch of red and these are stunning. Quite honestly, the pictures don't do them justice at all. You really have to see these for yourself.

If you're not a fan of red, there are seven other colors to choose from and you can also choose round over square plates.

Here's Oneida's description:

This Culinaria 16 Piece Service for 4 makes a brilliant statement on your table. A square silhouette gives this set a contemporary flair, while the Restaurant Rolled Edge and finger touch grip provide a pleasing tactile quality along with easy handling.

• Set Includes 4 Each: Dinner Plates, Salad Plates, Bowls and Mugs
• Twice fired, Vitrified durable stoneware, glass-like finish
• Dishwasher and microwave safe
• Mix and match Culinaria's colors for a unique table presentation

I'll bet you know how important it is that my dishes be dishwasher and microwave safe. As a mom, I'm reliant on those 2 things to help me through the day. To know that my new dishes can look lovely and take a beating as well, allows me to be a little more relaxed about using them in an everyday kind of way. Thanks, Oneida!

Now, while we're on the subject of Christmas plates, I would LOVE to have these.

 And, "Hello!". Is this mug screaming out my name, or what?

Snowmates Red Covered Latte 

You don't have to answer that question. I'm pretty sure it is. ;) {tee hee}

Again, there are other patterns available in the Holiday Dinnerware line that may suit you better. Please make sure you stop over to check them out. You may even find a great deal or 2 while you're shopping.

I'm so pleased to be introduced to the other, fabulous items available from Oneida. The hubster and I have already shopped from their flatware and I'm tempted to click around and see what else I can't find.

BUY IT: You can purchase the Oneida Culinaria, Chili Square 16 piece service for 4 at a suggested retail value of $160.
