favorite white dinnerware?

[Anonymous]

We have used our Pottery Barn Great White dishes regularly for almost 19 years and none are chipped, haven’t broken any. They’re a bit bulky but that’s a reasonable tradeoff for the durability and attractiveness.

Agree with Crate and Barrel Aspen. A few minor chips over the years, but overall lightweight, sturdy, pretty, cost effective dinnerware.

We love our Mikasa set. (Italian countryside)

I like Crate and Barrel Maison. When I got married, I spent hours pouring over dishware selections, but couldn't make a decision. Finally I settled on C+B maison when I read that it was recommended by Ina. We have used it daily for close to 9 years and only one chip and one crack during that time.

Villeroy And Boch Anmut. We've had it for 12 years and use daily and in addition to most dinner parties. Bone china, lightweight, clean style. Often on sale for 30% at Macys.

Apilco from Williams-Sonoma. Has held up for many years with no chips or cracks.

I just rented a vacation home and on my first opening of the dish cupboard, I re-stacked all the dishes so the Corelle would be at the bottom. I just detest Corelle.

I just doubled check my wedding registry - we went with C&B Aspen and love it. It's classic and modern, has held up well (so far!), and at $5/plate won't be painful to replace if we break one (plus I assume C&B will stock it for some time so a replacement won't be hard to find). Add a linen napkin (I am loving C&B's Marin Linen Napkin in Blue Mist) and it's nice enough to use when friends come over.

My Simon Pearce dinnerware is going on 10 years with no chips and I love it but I really think this is a personal thing maybe because some people seem to get a lot of chips and others not.

We’ve had ours for almost 10 years. The set has survived multiple domestic and trans-oceanic moves. They’re great!

But so cheap looking and ugly. Sorry

They are just plain white plates. Perfect for every day use. Not ugly at all. It's like a blank slate. White canvas.

Heath Ceramics are expensive, but I've had them for 9.5 years now and the only chips or damage are from when they've been seriously dropped (like onto a kitchen tile floor). Otherwise they are extremely durable.

I don't like how thin they are

Agree. I love mine. There is nothing "ugly" about them. They are simple and classic. And I'm not sure what you mean by "cheap looking." I mean, they are inexpensive. And I don't need my plates to look expensive.

Agree with the Crate and Barrel suggestion. It doesn't scratch and doesn't nick. I would buy it over the Wedgewood because the C&B is less expensive and the Wedgewood looks very similar. Two of my sisters use the C&B for their families' everyday plates and bowls. While their families aren't heathens neither are they very gentle with their plates. Their dinnerware still look great after years of use.

You may want to check out the Mikasa line. I love the Blakeslee because of its outline with platinum which, imo, adds a nice level of elegance to the plate; however, that touch may not be appropriate for your every day use.

Otherwise Swirl, Trellis or Ciara from Mikasa are good options that won't break the bank. I like the Mikasa plates because they aren't too think and chunky. They are bone china that you can use for everyday. Another option would be to look at Lenox.

Yes to Mikasa bone China. We got ours at Costco. Their website has several more options.
