What makes colourful dinnerware special?
Colourful dinnerware is tableware in bold or soft colours that brightens up your table and can be mixed within a collection to create a harmonious, cheerful look.
Here you will find plates, bowls and mugs in warm and clear shades. Small variations in the glaze are part of the craft and make every piece one of a kind.
Within a series the shades go together beautifully, so all you have to do is choose what you like.
All sets are dishwasher safe, and almost all of them are microwave safe too.
Reactive glazes make every piece look a little different.
Why choose colourful dinnerware?
Choosing colourful dinnerware means giving your food a friendly setting: colours create atmosphere, never hide what's on the plate and turn a laid table into the centrepiece of everyday life.
Coloured dinnerware goes well with wood, linen and simple glasses. It makes dishes look more vibrant and turns even a simple supper into a little occasion. If you don't want to settle on just one colour, you will find several shades within a series that belong together.
Colourful yet calm – which three rules help?
A colourful dinnerware set looks calm when you stick to one collection, choose one main colour and keep textiles, glasses and cutlery deliberately simple.
- One collection: The shades within a series are coordinated and rarely look random.
- One main colour: Two thirds of the pieces in one shade, the rest as accents.
- Simple surroundings: A neutral tablecloth and clear glass let the colours stand out.
- Same shape: Round, calm shapes tie different shades together.
How do you mix dinnerware from one collection?
The easiest way to mix colours is to stay within one series: Color, Retro and Circle are designed so that their shades complement each other and the shapes and sizes fit together.
| Series | Character | Mixing |
|---|---|---|
| Color | Clear, fresh shades | Two to three colours in rotation |
| Retro | Warm, with vintage charm | One main colour, one accent |
| Circle | Round shapes, calm effect | Plates and bowls in different shades |
| Mandala | Patterned, lively | Combine with plain-coloured pieces |
"Colour on the table is like a smile before the first bite."
Which pieces come in a colourful dinnerware set?
Depending on its size, a set includes a dinner plate, a dessert plate and a bowl, and the larger versions also come with a mug, so that three or four pieces are laid out for each person.
A 12-piece set covers four people with three pieces each, while a 16-piece set covers four people with four pieces each. There are also individual pieces such as Circle pasta plates, Circle mugs and bowls, as well as the Fox placemat plate set for kids and families. As a gift, colourful plates from a single series that suits the recipient's style are a great choice.
Stick to one collection, choose a main colour and keep the rest simple. That way, colourful dinnerware becomes the calm, cheerful centrepiece of your table.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is colourful dinnerware?
Colourful dinnerware includes plates, bowls and mugs in coloured glazes. It comes in a single colour, in several shades within one range, or with patterns. It adds variety to your table and can be mixed in a understated or cheerful way, depending on your mood.
How do I combine a colourful dinnerware set without it looking too busy?
Stick to one collection, choose a main colour and use the other shades as accents. A simple tablecloth and clear glasses let the colours stand out. This creates a harmonious look that feels lively yet calm.
Does colourful dinnerware suit every interior?
As a rule, yes. Neutral tables made of wood, linen and simple furniture create a calm backdrop that shows off colours beautifully. If your interior is already very colourful, it's best to choose more muted shades from one range.
What size is right for a family with children?
For a family with two children, a set for four people is usually enough: 12 pieces with three pieces per person, or 16 pieces including a mug. The Fox placemat set adds a playful motif to the table.
Is the colourful dinnerware dishwasher safe?
Yes, all sets in this selection are dishwasher safe. Almost all are also microwave safe; you'll find the few exceptions on the relevant product page. Load the pieces loosely so they don't touch each other.
Are colour differences between pieces a defect?
No. Reactive glazes turn out slightly different from piece to piece, which is part of the craft. These subtle nuances give the dinnerware its character and make every piece a little one-off.
