Livingware Country Cottage 8.5" Lunch Plate [Set of 6]
Are Corelle Country Cottage lunch plates the right everyday size and style for your table, especially if you’re adding to an older set?
If you want lightweight everyday plates with a familiar cottage-floral look, this six-pack is a sensible pick: each plate is 8.5 inches across, with periwinkle blossoms and green vines on white. That size works well for lunch, salads, and smaller meals, rather than a piled-high dinner. The plates are designed to stack and are safe for the dishwasher, microwave, and a pre-heated oven. If you’re matching older Country Cottage pieces, compare the actual floral layout before choosing; the pattern name alone is not enough to judge a close match.

From the Amazon listing
- ✓Crafted from ultra-lightweight, extra-strong Vitrelle glass that resists chips and cracks, making it durable for everyday use.
- ✓Measures 8.5 inches in diameter—ideal for lunch, salads or smaller entrées—offering versatility beyond standard dinner plates.
- ✓Safe for microwave, oven (pre-heated), and dishwasher use, combining convenience with daily practicality.
Will 8.5 inches feel big enough for everyday meals?
Think lunch, toast, a sandwich with sides, salad, or a modest serving—not a generous dinner plate. I’d choose this size if you want plates that keep smaller meals from sprawling across the table or taking over the dishwasher. If your household often serves full entrées on one plate, the 9.5-inch Tupperware set gives you more room.
How important is an exact match to your older Country Cottage plates?
The white ground and periwinkle-and-green floral motif make the style clear, but an older plate beside a new one is the best way to check the match. Compare the flower shapes, their placement, and the vine pattern—not just the name. For a gift meant to complete someone’s set, I’d confirm those details with them first.
Is lightweight glass a good choice for everyday use?
Corelle’s Vitrelle glass is presented as lightweight and resistant to chips and cracks, which makes these easier to handle than many heavier ceramic plates. That resistance is useful, not a promise that glass cannot break: avoid hard knocks and handle a chipped or cracked plate carefully. Compared with porcelain, this set puts everyday convenience and a slim, stackable design ahead of a more substantial, decorative feel.
Will they be easy to store and care for?
The stackable design helps keep a set of six orderly in a cupboard, and the plates are dishwasher-safe for regular cleanup. The pattern is designed not to wear, fade, or scratch off with use. To keep any plate in good shape, avoid banging edges together when loading or unloading, and follow the stated use limits: microwave, dishwasher, and pre-heated oven.

Six stackable 8.5-inch plates with a white, periwinkle-and-green Country Cottage print for everyday lunches.

Who it suits
This set is for the household that wants six coordinated, easy-care plates for lunches and smaller everyday meals, especially if the Country Cottage pattern already feels at home in the kitchen. It’s also a thoughtful set-completer when you’ve checked that the floral print looks right beside the existing pieces.
What you give up
- At 8.5 inches, these are lunch plates rather than all-purpose dinner plates; larger portions can feel cramped.
- The floral cottage pattern is a more specific look than plain white, and glass still needs care around hard impacts.
When another one is the better buy
Tupperware Microwave Reheatable Luncheon Plates 9.5" Set of 4 in Purple: Choose the Tupperware set if you want a larger 9.5-inch plate, prefer a lightweight microwave-focused option, and need four plates rather than six.
BTaT Porcelain Floral Plates Set, 6 Pack, 8 Inch: Choose the BTaT set if you want six smaller porcelain plates with varied pastel floral designs and scalloped edges for a more decorative table; they are not microwave-safe.
Questions buyers ask
What size are the Corelle Country Cottage lunch plates?
They measure 8.5 inches across. That makes them a natural fit for lunch, salads, snacks, and smaller entrées; choose a larger plate if you regularly serve full-size dinners on one plate.
How should I check whether they match older Country Cottage plates?
Compare one of your existing plates directly with the white background, periwinkle blossoms, and green vines on this set. Look at the flowers’ shapes and placement as well as the overall color impression, particularly if the plates will sit side by side.
Can I put these plates in the dishwasher, microwave, or oven?
They are safe for dishwasher and microwave use, and for use in a pre-heated oven. Keep to those uses and avoid sudden, rough handling that can damage glass.
Do these plates stack neatly in a cupboard?
They have a stackable design, so the set is made to store as a tidy pile. If you’re adding them to a cupboard of other plates, leave room for the stack rather than assuming different plate shapes will nest perfectly together.
Are these a good housewarming or wedding gift?
They’re a practical gift for someone who likes the cottage-floral look or already has Country Cottage dinnerware. If the goal is to complete an existing set, check the recipient’s plates for a close pattern match before buying.
What should I expect from lightweight glass compared with ceramic?
Lightweight glass is easier to lift and its slim stack can be convenient in a busy kitchen. Ceramic and porcelain often feel more substantial and can offer a more ornamental look, but the specific plate matters; this Corelle set is the more convenience-minded choice.
