A delicately speckled 12-piece ceramic dinnerware set. Perfect for dorm-dwellers or starter-apartment-ers.

Interesting little tidbit about this flatware set: Reed & Barton was a silversmith manufacturer, founded in 1824 in Taunton, Massachusetts, that was enlisted to create the gold, silver, and bronze medals for the 1996 Olympic Games.
