Dinner Sets

What styles of dinner set does Myer offer?

Myer's dinner sets range from everyday to special-occasion styles in stoneware, porcelain and bone china, spanning classic white through to coloured, patterned and textured designs. Most come as 12, 16 or 18-piece sets with options to suit casual family meals or a more premium table.

What's included in a dinner set?

A standard dinner set usually includes dinner plates, side (or entrée) plates and bowls, most often in a 12-piece set that serves four. Larger 16 and 18-piece sets include additional pieces or extra place settings. Check the product description for the exact configuration.

How many pieces should a dinner set have?

For everyday meals, a 12-piece set serving four is a practical choice. A 16-piece set suits larger households or those who entertain, while an 18-piece set or above is ideal for bigger gatherings. Consider how many people you usually serve and your storage space.

What's the difference between stoneware, porcelain and bone china?

Stoneware is thick and durable, with a warm, earthy, casual look. Porcelain is hard, non-porous and refined, often dishwasher and microwave safe. Bone china is light, thin and surprisingly strong, with an elegant finish suited to special occasions.

Are dinner sets dishwasher and microwave safe?

Many porcelain and stoneware sets are dishwasher and microwave safe, but pieces with metallic trims, gilt detailing or hand-painted finishes may need hand washing and should be kept out of the microwave. Always check the care guidance on the product page before use.
