One of the few china sets where the California "harmful substance" warning notice is not needed - this applies to their white China sets; not sure if it also applies to their colored China sets.


Pillivuyt is excellent quality. Their designs are perfect for both daily use and nice dinners when you get out the silver snd crystal. I have sets of inherited china sitting in cupboards because, frankly, I like my Pillivuyt better.

All of ours are Crate and Barrel. Hitting about 15 years and only 1 plate has a small chip.

Absolutely have. I had 17 people in the house post-Thanksgiving this year, and everyone was sick to death of keeping up with the plates/cups/glasses, so we eventually switched to paper.

I agree with getting one if buying online.
See what's up wrt weight, size.
I got 2 sets of these a couple of years ago. They are good size, don't chip, but OMG they are sooooo heavy!

I recommend buying one plate and seeing how it works in your dishwasher... bought a complete set of dishes for 12 from pottery barn that were so impractical in the dishwasher... too big and they wouldn't stand up in the rack. I got open stock from Target that are also white with dots and love them.
