Can anyone tell me if these dishes chip easily? Also if they do chip, is the color through the depth of the dish or do you see white?

Never chipped one. These are sturdy plates. I've owned them about 6 months. I'm impressed. They are excellent quality.

No, the do not chip easily. It take a lot to chip one and you do see the white. Chances are you will go years without chipping any.

Hi Paula. These dishes are as lightweight as your typical dishes and they are not stoneware - not heavy. The looks you see is due to the color/glaze that is used to color the plates. I think the they are made of ceramic - or whatever the typical/breakable dishes are made of these days.

Yes, they are heavier than most other dishes. More durable and beutiful too! I've had mine nearly a year now, and not a single chip or nick.

In between. They look raw, but feel like there is a clear finish on them. Be aware that the dishes are rather heavy.

Pretty resistant. I've had them since November of last year and only chipped one bowl. I've hit them fairly hard against other dishware while loading the dishwasher and have been amazed at not chipping or cracking any piece. The only one that chipped was one that my girlfriend dropped on linoleum.

Hi ASC...I've had 3 sets of this dinnerware & though I don't use it for everyday, I have had no problem at all with scratches and mine are now about 4 years old. I do take care when I stack them but have never put any covering between. They are nicely heavy (I like that, some may not) so I suspect if one wasn't careful they might cause some damage, but I would think it would have to be from pretty harsh handling. I have been delighted with my sets & quite enjoy using them from time to time & especially at Christmas (that's why I got 3 sets). So far I've never had a piece chipped, cracked, or broken. And by the way, I'm in my 70's and can lift them just fine but if I was going to have a group of older folks to entertain, I would not use them to entertain buffet style. I find them lovely as do my company. No matter how attractive & fancy some of the paper or plastic plates are, I find they are generally not sturdy enough for other than picnics or backyard outings. Hope yours works as well for you as they have for me! Rh

I have not had them that long (3-4 months) but so far they have not chipped. I tend to be careful with dishware anyway - I place them in the cupboard gingerly, load them in the dishwasher in such a way that they don't bang against each other, etc. I hope this helps.

Had mine for 4 months. They are great. Very sturdy no chips. Use them in dishwasher and microwave so far no problems.

These are wonderful dishes and the silver/gray pattern does not wash off in the dishwasher. There is no brown in the pattern. I bought these for my son/daughter-in-law 2 years ago, they use them everyday, and they have remained as nice as when they were new. If you purchase them my hope is that you will find them to be nice and that they meet your needs. Kind regards, A...

this is mrs. sirrine. no, they do not chip at all. in fact, that is one of the many reasons i chose this brand; i read the reviews of the "famous person's" dinnerware and was very cautious. we love these and the color goes very well with a chocolate brown placemat, tablecloth or other dinnerware pieces.

The "feet" are not glazed, but they are not as rough as I've seen in other dishes. They're also as white as the dish itself (I've seen other dishes that have beige / brown / greyish "feet"). Hope this helps!

I believe the dinner plates are 9". I have not seen any chips in my dishes yet.

No, they are as good as any other set you would buy at a department store. I've had mine for a while and no chipping yet.

I have been using them everyday for almost a year and I have not had any dishes chip. I did manage to break a small plate but I dropped it from the upper cabinet onto cold ceramic tile. I am not overly careful with the dishes and I have dropped them several times (from shorter distances) with no damage to the dishes.

It's "Fine China - Porcelain Fine." It's also marked Dishwasher and Microwave safe. I do not plan to use them as everyday dishes, but on company occasions. One chip would break my heart.

Hi Jessica - I have had my set for a while now and don't have any chips in it. It is definitely dishwasher safe.

They are an off white, a VERY light creamy with a yellow cast. Look white unless it is side by side with a white dish.
