PanSpanTemptations Plates
Which of these plates should I choose if I want Temptations-style charm for family meals or to add to a collection?
If you want plates from the Temptations brand, I’d choose the Woodland Emerald set—but note that these are 8-inch plates for dessert, appetizers, or small meals, not full-size dinner plates. For a whole table setting, the Famiware set gives you dinner plates, salad plates, and bowls for eight. If you mainly need larger plates with a decorative look, Artena is the more focused choice.
#1 · temp-tations by Tara
temp-tations by Tara Woodland Emerald Green Plates, Set of 4-8" Small Green Ceramic Plates for Salad, Microwavable, Dishwasher-Safe, Stoneware Dinnerware Sets, Premium Kitchen and Dining Dishes
Choose these if the Temptations name and a decorative green pattern matter most, or if you need small plates to complement a collection. They’re 8 inches across, so think dessert, appetizers, or light meals rather than a standard dinner-plate portion.
#2 · famiware
Famiware Porcelain 24-Piece Dinnerware Set, White with Black Trim | Plates and Bowls for 8, Dishwasher & Microwave Safe, Chip & Scratch Resistant, Ideal for Everyday & Formal Use
Choose Famiware when you need a coordinated everyday setting for a household or regular hosting: the set has dinner plates, salad plates, and cereal bowls for eight. Its simple white-and-black look is a deliberate change from colorful patterned stoneware.
#3 · Artena
Artena Large Ceramic Dinner Plates Set Of 4, 10.75 Inch Embossed Kitchen Salad Plates, Serving Plates For Restaurant, Plates With Lipped Edges, Microwave Dishwasher Safe (White, Multiple Patterns)
Choose Artena if you want four generously sized plates with embossed detail and a lipped edge for meals with sauce. The white finish is easier to mix with existing dishes than a strong color, though the pattern is not a match for a specific Temptations design.
Are you adding to an older patterned set?
Take the Temptations Woodland Emerald plates only if that green pattern works with what you already own; they are not a Floral Lace or Old World replacement. Ceramic glaze and color can vary between production runs, so don’t count on a new piece matching an older one exactly. If an exact match matters, compare the pattern and color in person before building your table around it.
Do you need dinner plates or smaller accent plates?
For dessert, appetizers, or small meals in the Temptations pattern, choose Woodland Emerald. For a set that covers dinner and breakfast for a group, choose Famiware’s service for eight. Artena is the pick when you want four larger plates rather than a complete set of bowls and smaller plates.
Will these work for everyday meals and reheating?
All three picks are microwave- and dishwasher-safe, making routine reheating and cleanup straightforward. Ceramic plates can still get hot in the microwave, so use a mitt or grasp the rim carefully. Use Artena in the oven; keep the other two out unless their care instructions specifically allow it.

Questions buyers ask
Do new Temptations plates match older sets?
A plate’s age and wear can alter its appearance, so compare the existing piece directly with Woodland Emerald before adding it.
Are Temptations plates microwave-safe, and do they stay cool?
The Woodland Emerald plates are microwaveable, but microwave-safe ceramic does not necessarily stay cool. The plate can heat up along with the food, so handle it carefully when reheating.
Can I put these plates in the oven?
Artena says its plates are oven-safe. The Temptations and Famiware picks are identified as microwave- and dishwasher-safe, but that alone does not establish oven safety; use them in the oven only if their care instructions say to.
Can ceramic plates develop crazing or hairline cracks?
Fine lines in a glaze can develop with age or repeated temperature stress; they are different from a plate being physically broken, but they can be hard to clean and may signal wear. Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as moving a cold plate straight into a hot oven, and stop using a plate that is cracked or has a sharp chip.
Do decorative ceramic plates chip easily?
Any ceramic plate can chip if its rim knocks against a hard surface or another dish. Load the dishwasher without crowding the plates, and use separators when stacking pieces you especially want to protect.
Are the Temptations plates full-size dinner plates?
No. The Woodland Emerald set contains 8-inch plates suited to desserts, appetizers, or small meals. Choose Artena’s 10.75-inch plates for a larger individual plate, or Famiware if you need a complete dinnerware set.
Does dishwasher use make the Woodland Emerald design fade?
The Woodland Emerald plates are dishwasher-safe. For any decorated ceramic, avoid abrasive scrubbers that can wear the surface, and follow the care instructions.
