The detail that these plates are polymer and not ceramic are in the fine print. I would suggest they put "NOT ceramic" in larger bold letter closer to the pictures. In no way do I think the company is trying to deceive anyone. I thought paying $100 for 3 ceramic plates were a little expensive; however, when I then realized they were polymer, I was a little disappointed. This is 100% my fault for not reading the fine print. Wife loves the plates and we look forward to use them to our next unsuspecting house guests!
