Do these plates chip as easily as regular stoneware plates?

I got my fiesta ware dishes almost 10 years ago for an anniversary gift. Not one of them had been chipped or damaged, until a month ago. My cat knocked my plate off the counter and it broke. Now, I'm a klutz and I've dropped these plates/bowls/mugs more than once and they held up nicely. I think it was a fluke that my cat managed to break one. It must have hit the floor just right. I love Fiesta!!!!

These are my first stoneware plates so I do not know how they stand up to others but mine have not chipped thus far. They seem extremely sturdy.

I have had mine for 3 years now and have not had a chip on any of them......love this product and that it is made in the usa and the only problem that I had is that my grandson and I were putting the plates away and he dropped it at exactly the right spot and it broke....replaced it and have not had a problem since........so I would say no they do not chip as easily as regular stoneware plates (I have had them in the past)!

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.

I've used my Fiesta every day for 15 years and have yet to chip it. Between the kids and my general clumsiness the dishes have been banged around a lot!

I have difficulty gripping or holding onto anything, and previously my cupboard was full of chipped dish ware. I decided to make a change, got rid of all the chipped dishes, and gradually started with Fiesta (waiting for a sale each time). It's been about a year, and much to my happy surprise, not a chip or crack has developed. In the past, at least a few dishes would be damaged. And by the way, they were not cheap dishes but a well known high quality brand. You will be pleased with the quality.

Mine just say Vitrelle break and chip resistant on the back. I did match two older plates (maybe 5 years) with the same fluted edge. They were the same. I use them mostly for cutting "boards" and did not care so much about a match, but they do seem to be the same as my old ones. My guess is you are OK.

Yes. These dishes have been outstanding. Buy extras! Not because they are fragile but because you'll love 'em

I haven't found them to chip or crack easily but I don't use them as my everyday dishes.

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.

I've had them about a month and we use them daily... haven't had any chips yet and it doesn't seem like they will, they are pretty heavy duty and much nicer than I even thought they would be.

I have these dishes in black and unfortunately chipped a coffee mug. Now that I can "see" the inside, it is definitely stoneware, not bone china.

I have not had any chipping, however I have not owned them for very long. I love the knives, so I hope the paint does not chip

They are not quite as heavy as Fiestaware or other stoneware-type dishes I have owned. Neither are they likely to be as durable. They are beautiful. I bought them as a housewarming gift for our daughter. She loves them.

Average dinner plate size. They aren't oversize plates. Haven't had a chip yet (8 mos) with normal wear. Pretty sturdy.

Have only in microwave and for salads. They chip very easily though. I am very careful with them. Half already have chips. My ARC rimmed glass bowls I have had for years have never chipped. Must be made out of different kind of glass.

I have had mine for a year and they have not chipped. I store them together nesting.

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

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.

I just got mine a month or so ago. They seem pretty stout after the regular use they receive. Have not had any issues. I have Granite counters and use the dishwasher regularly and have had no fading or chipping.

I have had no issues with the plates in any way. I enjoy the look and weight of them.

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