Right out of the box, I could feel these pieces were high quality in my hands. They felt quite a bit heavier than my old IKEA plates so that's something to keep in mind. After months of abuse and a few instances of excessive force, my Far & Away pieces have come out completely unscathed and in one piece. No chips or cutlery marks at all. This is especially impressive as mine are off-white and my old plates were full of markings from the get go. 

For someone like me who doesn't like to use the microwave unless absolutely necessary,  reheating leftovers from the fridge in the oven became a breeze. Definitely wouldn't dare trying this with my old plates. Dishwasher safe makes it great for cleanups as well, just make sure to check if it fits in your rack as the plates are approximately 2cm in height.

I really love how Far & Away works with artisanal markers in Portugal to bring this collection to life. The pieces are made in a region where the ceramic making tradition started over 500 years ago and has been passed down through the generations. Their entire production process is broken down on their website and it's a mix of both hand craftsmanship and machine precision. The end result is an amazing quality and consistency, with a touch of artisanal flair.
