Oriente Italiano Porpora Dinnerware & Decor Collection

Dinner plates are surprisingly heavyweight and feel substantial in hand, not fragile at all. The glossy finish really makes the intricate design pop under the dining room lights.

The purple in this collection is deeper and richer than any photo could show, and the Oriental floral pattern makes even a plain weeknight dinner feel a bit special. The craftsmanship really shows when you hold a plate up to the light.

I bought the dinner plates for a small dinner party and the mix of Oriental motifs with that rich purple is even better in person. Each plate feels substantial without being heavy, and the pattern carries over nicely onto the decor pieces too.
