Sambonet Individual Dinnerware Pieces
This page lists single dinnerware pieces from Rosenthal and Thomas: bread and butter plates, salad plates, dinner plates, deep and soup plates, cups and saucers. They are sold separately and also make up the dinnerware half of Sambonet's bundles for four.
Collections and design
Suomi was designed by Timo Sarpaneva in 1976 on the shapes of Finnish pebbles. TAC was designed by Walter Gropius in 1969 on Bauhaus principles, with concentric grooves on the rim; TAC Platinum adds a platinum band. Sonetto Bianco has organic shapes with relief details. Brillance Fleurs des Alpes shows Alpine mountain flowers on thin bone china with subtle gold rims.
Materials and care
Suomi, TAC and Sonetto are porcelain, Brillance is bone china and Thomas Nature Leaf is stoneware, hand glazed so that no two pieces look exactly alike. Care instructions are on each product page.
Choosing and combining
The pieces are the same sizes as in the bundles, for example an 11 in dinner plate in Suomi and TAC. If you want flatware and dinnerware chosen together, see the flatware and dinnerware sets for 4.
