My basic set is Manufacture Rock (service for 8 in black, service for 4 in white) which has a few pieces of Manufacture Rock Glow (orange/copper). I use Glow with the black set for an elegant table. This particular platter is from the Manufacture Glow series and is white on the bottom but the two I got look fantastic under the black (Collier) serving bowls. In effect, I can mix my Manufacture Rock pattern three different ways for three different effects: all black (all white, for that matter), black with Glow accents (for elegance), and black and white for a more casual table. Alas, Villeroy and Boch discontinued the Manufacture Rock Granite series. (Apparently it was problematic.) Otherwise I could have had a black (or white) and gray setting. Extremely versatile, medium priced, stunning table service! It was the square and rectangular pieces that caught my attention at first, but the mixture of square, rectangular, and round makes for a very interesting table.
