J. Doyle makes beautiful stoneware. In 2005 I bought a set of service for 8 dinnerware from a small San Francisco boutique(the name of which I don’t remember, I think it is now out of business) and to supplement what the store didn’t carry I bought extra pieces direct from J. Doyle. The off white dishes(called snow field white) are lovely, they work well in my contemporary scheme and would also work with a transitional theme. The plates, bowls and coffee cups are not round, not quite square with soft edges and were made in other colors like mocha, kiwi and morning glory blue, to name a few. J. Doyle’s customer service was prompt and responsive. I only wish J. Doyle had a website! The email I have is .
