Dinnerware Set for 6 People

What is a dinnerware set for 6 people: 18 or 24 pieces?

A dinnerware set for 6 comes in two sizes: 18 pieces with three pieces per person, or 24 pieces with four pieces per person, each covering six place settings.

With the 18-piece set, you get a dinner plate, a side plate and a bowl for each person. The 24-piece set adds a cup. That takes you from breakfast through dinner to Sunday coffee. If you already own cups or glasses, the slimmer set does the job nicely and saves space in your cupboard.

Dinner service for 6 people: which combination suits you?

A dinner service for 6 people consists of 18 or 24 matching pieces; the table shows what's included and when each size makes sense.

The series differ in shape and colour, for example Nordic dinnerware, Chic dinnerware, Color Pure or Ivory dinnerware. You'll also find individual extras such as the Circle bowl, Circle pasta plate or Circle cups. For more choice across all sizes, take a look at Dinner Services & Combination Sets.

Who is a dinnerware set for 6 right for?

A dinnerware set for 6 suits families with children, house shares and anyone who has guests round regularly and doesn't want to be washing up constantly.

• Families with children: Four people at the table, plus two spare place settings for guests or in case something gets broken.
• House shares: Enough plates for everyone, even if the washing-up waits until the next day.
• Regular guests: Six matching place settings look calm and inviting on the table.
• Couples who like a reserve: If you love cooking and invite people at short notice, you'll always have enough.

Which material and colour suit your dinnerware for 6 people?

Our dinnerware for 6 people comes in earthenware, stoneware and porcelain; the material shapes the look, weight and feel, while the colour sets the character of your table.

Natural shades such as cream or sand look understated and are easy to add to. Bold colours bring an accent to the table. Slight differences in the glaze are part of the craft, not a flaw.

What if you need more: 8 and 12 people?

When more guests are coming, you can add a plate set from the same series to your set for 6 people, or move up to a larger set for 8 or 12 people.

Here's how to serve eight guests: add two extra place settings from the same series to your 6-person set. If you regularly host bigger groups, 8 People or even 12 People is worth considering. For an overview of all sizes, see Dinnerware Sets.
