No chips at all in any of the large or small plates, bowls or serving dishes. </p> <p>BUT. We have the aspen bowls (since the set we got didn’t have good deep bowls) and they are very much chipped and have lots of marks in them like someone else mentioned. I need to replace them. They’re obviously not as good as the other dishes but they’re all porcelain so it’s weird. Ugh. Ours are about 10 years old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-everyday-dishes-do-you-use#post-2860449 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 21:21:00 +0000 LCTBQE 2860449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>the Coup Collection from Sur La Table. super simple/elegant and look exactly like the day we opened them (only 3 years ago, but still!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-everyday-dishes-do-you-use#post-2860435 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 20:18:20 +0000 mfa_lady 2860435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for Fiestaware!

Our 12 year old Aspen set from C&amp;B is still in great shape. I wonder if it’s your dishwasher? Have you had the same one this whole time?

Have had them since we got married 6 1/2 years ago, and haven't broken or chipped a single one. I'm pretty impressed. We also use a local pottery companies stoneware bowls and coffee mugs. I like substantial plates, so the pantry line and stonewear are great for me.</p> <p>I recently bought a set of plates and bowls from Corelle for the kids to use, and they are fine. I like the feel of a more substantial plate. And somehow my son broke a bowl the first day we had it, but no issues since (so it may have just been a defect).</p> <p><a href="https://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/pantry-dinnerware-collection/" rel="nofollow">https://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/pantry-dinnerware-collection/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-everyday-dishes-do-you-use#post-2860285 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 13:24:02 +0000 Hypatia 2860285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have white Corolle dishes here too.

I like how they have that homemade look and the green and black colors would go great with our decor. But I’ve read that they scratch and chip easily. Anyone have any experience with them? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-everyday-dishes-do-you-use#post-2860269 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 11:35:51 +0000 Sams Mom 2860269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have fiesta ware, and I love it. It is heavy though, if that is a concern. I've not chipped any in almost 4 years, but I have broken 2 bowls when they slipped out of my hand going onto the top shelf and hitting granite on the way down. </p> <p>I have 4 settings of 4 colors, but my mom has like 15 place settings all in different colors. I think both our services look great, or you can go all 1 color. The only downside is if they retire a color, but you can still usually find replacements online or in outlets or flea markets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-everyday-dishes-do-you-use#post-2860267 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 11:20:58 +0000 kiddosc 2860267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got place setting of Lenox Vibe for our wedding 8 years ago for everyday use and they've held up wonderfully!

I think the pattern has since been discontinued, but I remember seeing them in the stores for years and always loving the look, so when we got married, we finally were able to register for them. They're nice enough to use for holidays too. I have dropped and broken one or two over the years. For our daughter, her everyday dishes are plastic plates from Ikea. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-everyday-dishes-do-you-use#post-2860258 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 10:41:18 +0000 Lahela017 2860258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the white Correlle.

My other gripe are the black/ gray marks from knives or forks on the plates, even around the inside of the bowls and mugs from spoons. Our set was discontinued anyway but seems like maybe the problem is C&amp;B. </p> <p>Then again, to be fair we have moved twice with them. I thought our chips came from being sloppy as we put them in the dishwasher or banging then on the edge of the cabinet or something. We have those cabinet liners underneath that cushion the shelves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-everyday-dishes-do-you-use#post-2860252 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 09:52:11 +0000 jape14 2860252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've had the same problem with our everyday dinnerware from crate &amp; barrel - we have the staccato ones, also have had for 8 years and tons of chips!

I found them by flipping a plate over in a restaurant; i loved the style.<br /> We got them 10 years ago when we got married and we haven't had a single chip. They are heavy, but also heavy duty. They make a ton of different styles, from traditional to modern. But since their white ware is all the same color, it all matches.</p> <p>I also like villeroy and boch as mentioned above. It is really nice quality. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-everyday-dishes-do-you-use#post-2860235 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 08:54:35 +0000 lamariniere 2860235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a set of 12 simple white dinner plates from Villeroy and Boch, but none of the rest of our dishes match. I spent ages looking for plates that were shallow enough to fit in our old dishwasher and these fit the bill. Unfortunately, we moved and they are now too tall for our ridiculous half sized dishwasher. But we’ve had them for about 2 years and they are still perfect. My husband dropped one and broke it (i replaced it) but we haven’t had any chipping issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-everyday-dishes-do-you-use#post-2860228 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 08:30:48 +0000 lindseykaye 2860228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a set of Lenox Simply Fine dinnerware that we’ve used daily since getting married (so, 10yrs now). They have held up beautifully and I don’t think a single piece has chipped - though we’ve dropped and broken a couple.<br /> (This is he specific pattern we have, Chirp. <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/simply-fine-lenox-reg-chirp-dinnerware-collection/113166)" rel="nofollow">https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/simply-fine-lenox-reg-chirp-dinnerware-collection/113166)</a>. </p> <p>I love the quality, the ease of use (dishwasher and microwave safe) and that there are a lot of retailers who sell it and a lot of options for pieces to mix and match. I also think Lenox has a replacement policy to give you a discount on re-buying broken pieces so your collection stays complete but we haven’t used it. </p>
