Setting a beautiful dining table is one of the things I love to do when planning for special holidays or when company comes over.  Since I'm not the greatest cook, I think that a gorgeous dining atmosphere actually helps my food taste better!  :-)  Of course, I'm also trying my best to remember that a great looking table shouldn't only occur on special occasions, because every day with your family is special too.

Oneida has been making high-quality tabletop essentials since 1880 and knows a thing or two about how to make your dining table look picture perfect.  I recently had the chance to review a 16 Piece Service for 4 in their new dinnerware pattern, Asheville Red.  Keep reading to learn more!

The Asheville Red Dinnerware Set from Oneida is a casual set of dishes with a contemporary feel, thanks in part to the rounded square design of its pieces.  I'm a huge fan of square shaped dinnerware, but have to admit that sometimes those 90-degree edges make your table look a little too stiff and formal.  The Asheville Red pattern is the perfect blend of formal and casual and the fiery red crimson color is definitely an attention grabber!

This dinnerware set is composed of reactive glaze ceramic stoneware which is hand embellished for that high quality pottery look.  These pieces are both dishwasher and microwave safe and will be a great set of dishes for both your everyday use as well as for special occasions.

It has been a long while since I've seen a more versatile set of dinnerware than the Asheville Red set from Oneida.  The red crimson color is the perfect compliment to a backyard barbecue, an Autumn-themed or Thanksgiving dinner and can especially be used around the Christmas holidays.  They are a perfect size for serving a variety of meals and I like using the four included bowls as small snack or condiment servers too.

The Asheville pattern also comes in either Denim or Green and the chocolate brown accents on both of these varieties gives this dinnerware a greater depth in color as well as a more elegant appearance.

The Asheville Dinnerware Sets are gorgeously designed and affordably priced.  These dishes are extremely versatile and can serve as both a casual or formal addition to your family's table.  Thanks to the Oneida Asheville Red Dinnerware Set, I can bring a touch of elegance to the everyday!
