From Arc International (France), probably in the Arcopal Novoctime octagonal pattern, but possibly the Arcoroc line, this is a set of black glass dinnerware consisting of 6 dinner plates measuring 10 7/8 inches in diameter, and 4 cereal bowls, measuring 5 5/8 inches in diameter and 2 inches tall. There are no marks other than the word "France" and some numbers in raised letters on the bottom. This elegant, shiny black 10-piece set of glass dinnerware will have a shipping weight over 10 pounds. From Wikipedia: The Arcopal brand was introduced in 1958. This fully tempered glassware is high-strength and durable, break and chip resistant. Although very thin, Arcopal glass is five times stronger than china.[7] Arcopal tableware was famous for its translucent opal borosilicate glass. In 1986 the Arcopal ranges of products were included in Luminarc and Arcoroc offers, under the ranges of products made in Opal. [8] The Arcopal France tableware is microwave and dishwasher safe. Arcopal bakeware is oven, microwave, and dishwasher safe. Condition: The condition is very good, with no chips, cracks, or scratches, but this set has been well used, and the plates have a lot of visible utensil marks which can be seen more completely in the light at an angle. The cereal bowls are better, but still have some of the utensil marks.
