I did a lot of research before making my wedding registry last year, and after adding the Casper dog bed that my partner insisted on, he wisely left the rest to me to sort out. The kitchen is my domain, after all, and I wanted to outfit it with quality pieces that were as stylish as they were functional.

I signed up for the requisite Le Creuset Dutch ovens and upgraded my stockpots before finally turning my attention to dinnerware. That’s where Fable comes in: the Vancouver-based company that’s bringing the craftsmanship of Portuguese ceramicists to the mainstream. It’s been over a year now since I started using the brand’s ceramic plates and bowls, and I fall more in love with them every day. Follow my lead and snag the Fable Base Dinnerware Set while it’s 30% off through August 11.

Fable Base Tableware Set

Since I was starting from scratch with my dinnerware, the dinnerware set made the most sense for me, with four each of dinner plates, salad plates, breakfast bowls, and pasta bowls. Since I have three sets (for a total of 12 place settings), I decided to pair the brand’s semi-matte speckled white with their midnight blue for a dramatic look. While I love the striking contrast of layering the white over the deep blue, there are also softer shades like beach grass green, desert taupe, stone blue, dove gray, cloud white, glossy white, and soft pink.

What makes this dinnerware stand out, besides the beautiful colors and timeless design, is its functionality. I pull out the pasta bowls the most because I’m totally on the “blate” bandwagon, but each piece has seen a fair amount of use. After thousands of meals, hundreds of dishwasher runs, and many trips in the microwave, they’ve never stained, scratched, or broken. The brand also says they’re oven safe up to 230°C, although I’ve never tried that myself.

My admiration for this tableware is reflected in the comments on the Fable website, which read like a love letter from 3,500 satisfied customers who regularly use terms like “perfect,” “beautiful,” “elegant,” and “sturdy.”

Follow my advice and that of thousands of others and shop the Fable Summer Sale before it ends on August 11th.
