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.

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

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.

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.

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.
