Transform Your Table Setting With Walmart's Affordable Anthropologie Dinnerware Dupe

Love the look but hate the price tag? Tune into FOMO NOMO every week to find affordable alternatives to today's hottest (and priciest) home décor trends, hand-picked by House Digest editors.

These days, it's well known that Millennials and Zoomers are passing on their mothers' (and grandmothers') wedding china and opting for beautiful, everyday dinnerware instead. We love a good-looking tablescape, but who has the time to hand-wash fragile dinner plates with gold rims that are just waiting to blow up your microwave? Enter Anthropologie's Jasper stoneware collection, finished with a special glaze to capture the uniqueness of hand-thrown ceramics — without the breakability. While we love the organic look, a set of four dinner plates costs a whopping $64, and if you want matching bowls and side plates, you're looking at closer to $200 for the full set. Thankfully, our editors have found an equally beautiful option from Walmart's Better Homes & Gardens line that comes as a complete 12-piece set for just $45.

BHG's Stoneware Murphy 12-piece set has a textured linen design in a cream hue with a dark-rimmed accent, offering the same hand-thrown look as Anthropologie's for a fraction of the cost. Although star ratings vary by piece, the Jasper stoneware collection is rated 4.1 to 4.6 stars by reviewers. Meanwhile, the dupe has literally hundreds of five-star reviews that attest to the quality and luxury feel, including one review that writes, "I bought this set to fill a void until we could decide on a better quality set that fit our cabinets better, however I was pleasantly surprised how nice this set was that we have decided to keep them and order another one as well instead of having them as a place holder. The color, texture and border color makes it seem luxury at a great price." 

Why this Walmart dupe has better reviews than the original

Reviewers of the Walmart dishware report that the pieces have a weight to them that feels substantial and that they hold up to heavy use and many trips through the dishwasher. One reviewer noted, "Absolutely love these! They are not only beautiful but also feel incredibly well-made and heavy-duty. The design adds a touch of elegance to the space, and the quality exceeded my expectations." This dupe not only keeps more money in your pocket, but the natural white, textured design is a dishware trend that will elevate the look of your kitchen.

Anthropologie's Jasper collection is finished with a satin reactive glaze, giving it a low-sheen, handmade look that also aligns with the trend. However, as the product details point out, this matte glaze makes the dishware susceptible to scratching, something reviewers were quick to call out (as well as staining from highly saturated foods like turmeric spice). BHG's Murphy line is also made from stoneware, but its textured design is protected with a standard glaze. This process offers a similar handmade look but with superior durability and stain resistance.

How to use and style Better Homes & Gardens Murphy dinnerware

One thing both Anthropologie's Jasper line and BHG's Murphy collection have in common is their versatility when it comes to use and styling. The once-outdated formal dining room is making a quiet yet powerful comeback, and this dishware is perfect for both proper dinner parties and Friday-night pizza on the sofa. The hand-thrown aesthetic and silhouette on both designs perfectly complement any style of home — from a rustic farmhouse to a contemporary city apartment.

The cream hue also lends itself to fun tablescape ideas for every occasion. You can even layer with some of Grandma's china to give the table an eclectic, layered feel, without hand washing as many fragile dishes. Since they are a blank canvas, go big with pattern: layer over a floral tablecloth or embroidered runner, or top with a printed napkin in a bejeweled napkin ring. Add a metallic or rattan charger, depending on the season, and set the table with heirloom crystal glassware to add to the collected aesthetic.
