How chip resistant are these dishes?

I have had them for about a year. I hand wash them and have had no issues. They have a slightly ruff fell but are very attractive. I got a set smoked colored glasses with them. Very nice set.

This is a very good set, I have used these for almost a year now and use them every day and they get washed in my dishwasher. They still look as new as when I first got them. You can not go wrong with the set a very good buy ( no chips any were)

So far... Great. I have had these dishes for the past year. They are the only dishes we have, and we use them daily and for every meal. No chips as of yet.

I've washed them in the dishwasher, I bang them on counters and other dishes, dropped them in the sink. I don't have a single chip on my dishes. I'm very impressed with them.

These dishes are not chip resistant. In fact they chip quite easily. We have stopped using them as they were a danger at times

No idea how they compare to Nordic Ware, but I've been microwaving Corelle for quite some time. They're chip/break/shatter resistant, so I would not worry much about the dishwasher; I've seen a bowl fall off the counter and bounce, completely unscathed.Edit: Corelle dishes are made of Vitrelle glass.

Yes, they do chip not as easy as others have claimed. If you slam them around then like all dishes they are going to chip. I have a 15 year old who hates to wash dishes he slams these plates around and he hasn't chipped the first plate. My husband chipped the salad bowel eating cereal. If you want a dish that will not chip at all buy corelle. I have had these dishes for a long time now and 1 bowel and 2 plates have chips. I put them in the dishwasher the micowave to me they are hard to chip. Hope that helps

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

I think so but not entirely sure, I would hand wash them anyways to prevent getting chipped by other dishes. They are really lovely when they arrive.

They are made from tempered glass which makes them very sturdy. I've used mine for at least 3 years and have not had one break or even chip yet. Use in a conventional oven is not recommended.

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.

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.

Dinner plate is very large. We've had our dinnerware set for about a year, and it hasn't chipped at all. It seems very durable. We have 2 children that are rough on things, and we've washed the dinnerware in the dishwasher many times. The set still looks great!

My guess is that they are the soda lime glass. Pyrex doesn't do much borosilicate glass in their kitchen cookware in the states. I hear that soda lime glass is a bit more resistant to breakage when dropping. In fact, these came in a box that was completely crushed, and a number of double wall metal pans were damaged and twisted out of shape very badly. The bowls survived without even a chip! Also judging from my mom's heavily used 20 year old set that is most probably made of soda lime (Pyrex switched in the 1940s), they can be very durable, and I don't expect any breakage.

I am not aware of stoneware being chipResistant-they are definitely breakable.

Don't think it can be done. I ordered two sets of dishes and both sets arrived with a chipped piece. Even brand new, the only alternative was a credit for the broken piece or return the entire set and reorder. Good luck.

I have never had a problem with chipping. I use them daily and put them in the dishwasher after each use. They are sturdy and withstand lots of use.

Yes, no problem at all in microwave. I have been using them for a few years and never an issue. Dishwasher safe too. Never had any breakage. If you stack them, I suggest folding a paper towel or two in the bottom bowl. It just keeps any accidental banging from chipping. They are sturdy but I like to be careful. I love mine.

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.

I'm sorry to say I don't know. Had them for several months and they haven't chipped or crack.

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
