Has anyone had problems with these getting scratched up from cutlery use? Or etched by hard water from repeated dishwashing?

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

I haven't had a problem of any kind with Libbey's Crisa Moderno dinner, or their glass ware. In fact, I like them so much that (being a retired snowbird, and having a northern home and a southern one) I equipped both of our homes with them, and I give sets as gifts. They are sturdy, and go with every table-decorating mood that strikes me. I vote with my dollars, and I continually put my money where my mouth is with this product.

Mine didn't last long enough to have that problem. They broke in the microwave.

They seem to be holding up fairly well. I put cheap paper plates between them to minimize scratching so mine look really good. My water is terrible and it leaves marks and a film unless I dry them right away but does not cause any etching. I have not had and scratches from cutlery use. I do love these plates. They are worth the effort.

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 tried it once and they came out spotty, even though I have a high efficiency dishwasher with spot rinse. I polished out the spot and now wash and dry them by hand. They are worth it though. They look better hand-washed. They are great knives, sharp, plus look great on counter top. It's not a big deal to hand wash them. I'd buy them again or give as a gift. Good luck.

I don't think they will scratch. I would use a gentle touch and some stainless cleaner. My sink is fairly new so it does not have stains in the corners.

Yes they probably will although I've never put any cutlery in a dishwasher. Mine are still like new but you should pass on them to prevent any possible rust issues.

I lightly tried a pizza cutter on the bottom of one of the platters, and yes, it did scratch. I love these trays, however. My husband likes to grill outside and after he had broken three platters from dropping them on the patio, I purchased these. They're perfect...and they don't break!

so they tell you to not put them in the dish washer because the dish wash dulls the knifes. Mine got spot rust on them after being cleaned in the dishwasher. The ones I hand washed have not rusted.

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.

I always put them in the dishwasher. I've had these for over one year now and have had no problems. Perhaps the other reviewer left them in the sink for an extended period of time, sitting in water, I don't know, but if you wash them regularly, dishwasher or hand wash, then there is no problem.

I don't put knives in the dishwasher...I think it helps to dull them. So far they have stayed sharp. I like them and also have the cutlery set.

I have never had a problem. I have run 2 of them through the dishwasher several times a week for about 5 years. They are heavy enough to be almost indestructible. My first one chipped on the lip a few days ago.

I hand wash mine, they still look great. Dish washer I believe would scratch them....I love them!

I haven't noticed any scratches on my knives . I have a good assortment of knives,I just slide them in. I hope this helps.

I have had the knife set for 11 months and they have all been in the dishwasher many, many times with no problems. If I remember correctly the manufacturer recommended hand washing and drying them right away. I guess that is the proper knife cleaning procedure for any knife. We use ours way to much to be that fussy all the time so in the dishwasher they go. Sometimes I will hand wash if only one is used but so often we have many out at the same time which would be a lot of work cleaning them by hand constantly. We really like the knife set and they are holding up very well.

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.

I've had mine for 16 years! I cook every day and I've never put them in the dishwasher. I am now looking for a replacement. The coating disappeared from the bottom of my favorite used ones..probably had something stick and left on for too many days (scrubbed the heck out of it).... the coating wore out in about 10 years (but I still use.) Still cooks great, but I want some new ones for the non-stick coating.

Mine don't scratch easily. However I've purchased used pieces that that were covered with knife/silverware marks. They come off surprisingly well by scrubbing with Barkeeper's Friend or Bon Ami (I prefer Barkeeper's Friend). Both of these products are sold by Amazon.
