The second set of Calamityware dinner plates in a discounted combination. Each porcelain dinner plate features a different calamity from Don Moyer's sketchbook—pillaging pirates, an active volcano, creeping tentacles, and a landscape-sucking vortex.
White porcelain with rich blue images. 10.5" (26.5 cm) diameter. Food safe. Microwave safe. Dishwasher safe. Produced at the award-winning Kristoff porcelain workshop in Poland using the in-glaze decoration process. That means the image is slightly melted into the surface like the fine porcelain you see in museums. Designed by Don Moyer.
Remember, all Calamityware plate designs are different—different borders, different images, and even slightly different blues—because the plates were produced at different times. They will look good together on your table or wall, but they won't be identical.
Porcelain is both delicate and durable. We think you’ll enjoy Don’s blog about caring for your new treasures.
When I realized my husband and I would be celebrating our thirteenth wedding anniversary in the middle of a global pandemic I knew this would be an unforgettable anniversary and a full set of Calamityware dinner plates would be the perfect gift to mark the occasion. After all, things could be worse! A volcano could erupt in our backyard, a sea monster surface in a nearby pond, or our daughter carried away by flying monkeys. These dishes embedded with Don Moyer’s drawings of a discombobulated, blue-willow paradise, are a whimsical dinner time reminder to smile and bask in our good fortune.
I can hardly wait to mix these in with my formal blue/white dinnerware then wait and see who finds the first calamity! These are fabulous with a touch of irreverence. Please make more tee shirts and cute little tea towels (another fun surprise). KT Erwin
Love, love, love my Calamityware! I purchased a service for 8 and came back for the last 4 and the tea set recently. I was fascinated by this China every time I saw it on Instagram. After a house fire, I decided to purchase it for us to enjoy once the house was rebuilt. I now have all the plates, the Dino platter, tea set, mugs and bread/salad plates. In November I’ll have the 2 serving bowls I reserved this summer.
I can’t wait to share this fun China with my friends around a new table in our home.
Thanks, Calamityware for your awesome, whimsical designs! Mary
Not only do I love Calamityware plates, but I love their customer service. Whenever I have an issue (either need to make a change to my order or had a product come damaged), they are so quick to respond and sound so friendly. This is a great company!
Bought series 1, and bowls and mugs for family of four. Ordered series 2 for them, as we were visiting. Found that the CW dishes were being used as everyday wear, replacing their other dishes. They love these dishes, and are happy that now with 8 plates, their table setting matches if guest come for dinner.
This is how much I love them. I wear BLUE all the time BUT I don't use it in decorating and in my house. I shudder if I have to BUY a BLUE sponge :)
So, I made a HUGE exception to buy the complete set of plates....but I love, love, love them...and they are quite a surprise when I bring them out!
Once I got them the afternoon was spent looking at all of the fine details in the illustrations. Once I can justify getting more I will! They are a good weight, I thought they would be heavier and they do microwave well.
Gorgeous plates! Ingeniously designed, wonderfully made, and joy to use.
Now each dinner ends with us looking ever more closely at each part of the design. Silence falls. Then Whoops of delight as someone finds yet another easter egg in the art! The cat! Alien antennae peeking from behind patterns. Asymmetry in what initially looked to be perfectly symmetrical! These are the prettiest plates I've ever had the joy to own. And the most fun to use. Thank you, Team Calamity! Things could always be worse but our lives are better everyday for the fun you've built into our plates, coffee cups, bowls, shower curtain, T-shirts, and frameable art.
Purchased one set of series 2 plus a set of four coffee cups for my husband as an anniversary gift and he was pleasantly surprised. We love the quality and they make a great conversation piece. The sets arrived quickly, well packed, and we wish we had more.
I've been watching these plates for a while and finally bought them. They are more interesting than the food put on them. Thanks for "braking the mold" on dinner wear.
