Recommendations wanted - everyday dishes

I'm not a Corelle fan - it feels like eating off picnic-ware to me.

Our everyday dishes are Churchill "Blue Willow." I love the classic blue & white.

I love my Fiesta Ware.  Prior to getting Fiesta ware I was using some Correlle that I had picked up from who knows where, but it just was not my style.  We use this for everyday.  I figure since I put that much money into 8 place settings, I might as well use it.  And I just love drinking my coffee from a colorful cup

I had Phaltzgraff that I loved and used for over 30 years (16 place setting plus just about every serving piece they had). Only two plates ever chipped. I also have the Winterberry pattern that is that old for Christmas and not one piece is chipped. Then a few years back I decided to "upgrade" to Napoli - nice and bright, a bit lighter weight.  Well, just about every plate, salad plate and fruit bowl has chipped.  The company had sold and production is now in China instead of USA.  You can tell.  My BFF also bought the patter and has the same issues.  So, just before Christmas I jumped on the Fiesta bandwagon and have no regrets.  I was hesitant because of the weight, but now I don't find them too heavy at all.  I love them and started the collection around the colors Napoli since my pasta, gusto and vegetable bowls are in great shape still.  I love mixing and matching.  

We have two sets of everyday dishes because we keep kosher.

Our dairy set is Villeroy and Boch twist 3. I love the mix / match look. We have been married 13 years and have replaced 1 rice bowl because dd dropped it when she was emptying the dishwasher. My mom has since bought a Villeroy set for her everyday dishes as loves them. I like that they're nice enough that I don't always have to pull out my good China for company.

Our meat set is Wedgewood Sarah's garden. I like the mix / match aspects but I haven't loved this pattern as much over the years as the twist 3. It hasn't stayed as modern feeling. These dishes are thicker / less fine than my Villeroy. If I was buying a new set id probably look at Villeroy again. And I would consider all white. Although I love my twist 3.

When I got divorced, I realized I was tired of the lovely Polish Pottery XH and I had collected, so I left it to him.

I took a set of 4 plain white plates and bowls we had.

I just keep adding to it.. So intentionally mismatched.

I have some from PB, Pier One, Ikea, and CB2. all slightly different but they all go to gather. I find without a dishwasher they chip easier, so its always easy to replace.

I also have some beautiful bowls from a local potter. When we have guests or a special meal they make the table look fabulous.

As someone else said, I do find bone china is much studier than Corelle .

I got fiestware 4 years ago and love it. Yes, they are a little heavier than some but they still look brand new today and no chips

Fiesta. Love the rainbow and durability. I think it's really a china rather than a stoneware.

All the Corelle we ever tried broke into tiny glass shards that we were forever pulling out of our feet. And this was not extraordinary drops. A couple feet on a vinyl floor. If the wind blew too hard. I am glad others have had such good experiences, but not me.

I'm a Fiestaware lover ... at the time I bought my place settings it was not even available here in Canada so I purchased it while on vacation in the USA   

It is heavy but is so durable and looks so pretty   

I have Mikasa stoneware in Italian Countryside pattern. Plain and simple in a cream color. Had it for 18 years.

Another Corelle user here. We still have the same set we got when we got married over 25 years ago, plus a few extra odd mismatched plates that are older still (lovely 1970's vintage with a burnt orange stripe on the rim). How on earth are all of you breaking this stuff? Ours has been nearly indestructible. We've broken exactly one bowl in all these years.

If I was going to replace them, I would get something similar but plain white. I'm not a huge fan of the 1980's off white, blue and red country design we currently have.

We have a Pfaltzgraff set for everyday that is not currently made anymore. But it isn't as heavy as some stoneware is, while still being heavier than Corelle.

At the time that we chose this pattern, 2 of Mikasa's casual lines were our 2nd & 3rd options. They were a similar feel. Not terribly heavy, but still had some weight to them.
