Sedona earthenware weaves together deep, hand-painted blues and reds in bold stripes and artistic geometric patterns evocative of fabrics and wall hangings from the American Southwest. Keeping the design fresh and contemporary, Sedona's rich palette is infused with softer hues of dusty yellow, faded denim blue and pale green against a speckled cream background.Mix with speckled Nuance in solid Sage Green, Red, or Gold for a real Southwestern feel. Dishwasher, microwave, and oven safe.For almost 200 years the Pfaltzgraff brand has been associated with thehighest quality ceramic products available for the home. The company grew from amodest-size pottery shop that produced simple earthenware, salt-glazedstoneware crocks and even flower pots into one of the best known designers andmarketers of dinnerware, glassware, ceramic accessories, giftware and other products. Several Pfaltzgraff patterns are among the best-loved dinnerware designs in America, including Yorktowne, Folk Art, Naturewood and Pistoulet.With a deep bowl and generously wide dish, this two-piece set can easily serve up a party-size portion of veggies and dip or carry enough salsa and chips for a Sunday afternoon of game watching. Colorful stripes decorate the interior of the 14-inch dish; while a contemporary Southwestern design rings the exterior of the bowl. Matching blue trim and a flecked cream background bring the set together for a casually festive effect. Because the bowl and dish are not attached, cleaning and storage are easy; and both pieces are safe in the oven, microwave, freezer, and dishwasher. Pfaltzgraff offers a five-year warranty against defects and will replace pieces individually. --Kara Karll
