do the plates get black marks from the silverware?

Nope! Using this set everyday and no black marks or scratches of any kind. These are amazingly durable. I have issues with my hands and have dropped these, banged other things into them... Not a chip or crack to be found! The stoneware seems to be of high quality.

We have had our plates for about 8 months - and have no black marks from silverware or anything else. The plates look beautiful, have held up in the dishwasher well - and show no signs of wear.

I've had mine for about a year now and no silverware marks so far. They did her some odd round brown stains though and I have no idea where these come from

Have had mine several months now and they look like new. Don't chip or break easily with 3x daily use. Look great for everyday china.

I haven't had that happen to mine and I've used them everyday for almost six months.

No, my plates do not have any scratches at all and I have had them for over 1 year.

Mine have not, however I have very high quality stainless steel tableware. This problem depends more on the quality of your tableware than the quality of your dinnerware.You want to find the highest quality (hardest) stainless you can, and if you can find some good quality stainless you won't have issues with marks. I can't recommend d a brand of stainless because I lycjed out and bought this amazing set from Cabelas, and they stopped making it.

They do scratch over time. I've had mine over a year. However, they still appear black. So scratches do not go deep and they still look great on the dinner table. Salad plates do chip easily due to shape. I have replaced three of the eight I purchased so far.

No, it does not. And these pans truly hold up fantastically. Even with family members that forget and use metal utensils on them, they do not have but a few scratches. Great Pans!

I have never noticed a problem with that. I am very happy with these dishes. They have worn well. I am 61 yrs. old and I have had dishes that didn't. They are pretty and classic.

I have the ones with black handles and put them in the dishwasher all the time. Don't know why the silver handles would be any different unless maybe it would cause discoloration.

We've only had ours about six months and wash it by hand after each use, but the marks have not begun to fade in the least. I cannot say what a dishwasher would do however, sorry.

No, this set does not. FYI, mine did start to have tiny rust spots when washed in dishwasher a couple times. I try to handwash them all.

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...

Not sure. I just replaced mine after five years with the same one. I think it has to do with the plates. I liked the silver ones so that's what I stuck with =)

There is some occasional discoloration but we still put them through the dish washer. We've had our set for 8 years and they are still in great shape.

We have an old (more than 10 years) set of Calphalon that looks ever bit as new as the one I bought Christmas. With almost daily use since last Christmas, I have noticed absolutely none of the problems you are asking about. Mine is rinsed in the sink and then put in the dishwasher. If it is "spotting" we use "Barkeepers Friend". It still looks brand new. I think you will be proud of your purchase if your decision is to buy this cookware.

Yes, I'm getting burn marks on the plate and eggs. I would also suggest making the pin holder round so it's easier to poke eggs.

I bought these as a gift for a friend. Although I don't use them, I SEE them at his home all the time. I have never seen marks from any utensils or flatware. He likes the dishes and has never said anything about marks.

The serrated groves are not deep nor are they hard to clean. I do not have any marks at all on any of the pieces. I put them in the dishwasher and have had no problems.

No marks, even inside my cups. I've had my set for about six months now, and we use it daily. The porcelain is more durable than ceramic. I am very pleased with the quality of this set for the price I paid. I've never owned porcelain before, so I don't know if later on there will be marks. In the past, I've used baking soda or the new magic eraser sponges to remove marks. Hope this is helpful.

Hello, no they do not get marked from silverware. We purchased our set about six months ago and they look new. They are porcelain, made by Royal Dalton.

No, I have never experienced that happening and I have been using this dinnerware for over a year now. Beautiful dishes!
