The handy thing about having a dip bowl separate from the chip plate is that refilling the bowl or reheating a hot dip is much easier. The two pieces in this set are hand-painted with the delicate holly sprays and red berries of Pfaltzgraff's Winterberry pattern, which has added a festive touch to the holidays since 1991. The set coordinates nicely with a full range of Winterberry dinnerware and serving ware.
Both the dip bowl and the plate are made of durable stoneware, which means they can safely heat nachos or other appetizers in the oven or microwave, store items in the freezer if desired, and slip right into the dishwasher for easy cleanup. The bowl makes a good condiment dish as well. Pfaltzgraff covers the set with a five-year warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri
