Do you throw it out?
Or keep it? I throw them out. My MIL has tons of plates with chips, like most of them. She is rich. |

| I keep it unless it's unusable. |

| Hmm. I keep them unless the chip is downright dangerous for the kids. To a certain extent, there is beauty and history in things we keep. But then my family has a 300 year old chateau in France that my ancestor built. I've been bred to take the long view. |

OMG Do you brag that you have old furniture too? |

Brag, no. The small amount of period Louis XV that we have left is not exactly sturdy. |

This reminds me of this story from the Chicken Soup for the Soul books:

| Well, I was going to answer seriously, but that's so boring. |

Well, we're not Irish, but it's just like that. |

| No longer use them for eating but they are good for using under planter or break them up as use for drainage in flower pots. |

The family chateau poster is back.
Yes, OP, we keep chipped plates if the chip is small. |

A one-room mud hut does not a chateau male . . . |

We keep chipped plates and bowls unless it is a huge chip. I throw away glasses with chips as they can be harmful.
Perhaps your MIL is rich because she does not go out and buy new china when it gets chipped. |
