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.

I bought these plates over a year ago and have put them through the dishwasher many times. They still have not scratched. I use them every weekend when I have people over since I have a large family. I recommend them.

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.

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.

no, no chipping. very durable, easy to clean (I have 2 of them and like them very much)

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

For me, the answer is yes. I find them heavier than a lot of my good china plates.

They are heavy. I would compare them to stoneware vs. corelle. So far, we have had no trouble, whatsoever, with our dishes. There was some trouble with shipping, a plate or something broke, but they did not hesitate to replace our order. We do use the dishwasher on our set; we have had no chipping thus far. We are completely satisfied with our order of these dishes. Thanks for asking.Ben Graff

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.

It does not chip. It is a much higher-grade metal than a regular grill plate. The metal is thicker making it more sturdy. I have not been disappointed.

Yes they do. The designs are etched nicely into the plates. I'm very happy with them. I haven't cut or scraped my fingers.

No special care is needed! I wash in the dishwasher and store in cabinet without anything in between. Bone china is the strongest of all china. Yes, they can chip but not as easily as ironstone and the rest. This is why I bought them! LOVE THE DISHES!

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 not quite as thin as corelle, but they are not far off. I would say that they are a tiny bit thicker with just a little more weight to them. They are definitely closer to corelle than the heavier stoneware on the market.

They are not as heavy as our Fiestaware, nor are they as durable. They are lighter than most stoneware-tupe sets I have owned in the past. They are beautiful.

I have not had any problems with the plates and bowls chipping or breaking, however I have yet to knock them hard against the faucet or drop them on the floor. They go though a daily routine of moving in and out of the cupboard against other corelle dishes and I do not notice any harm. I am sure I will eventually knock them about, but for now, the plates are as strong as they are lovely, only time will tell. If they are as resilient as my older corelle sets, I will have no worries. Remember that the mugs are not corelle and will break. I hope this helps you.

The dinner plates seem to chip easier than anything else but its really a great set. I have had mine for 9yrs and love it!!
