yeah i agree, we have an older set and it just feels sturdier than the new stuff. we have only broken one piece and it hit the tile from pretty high up.

ours is mostly white, with a total 70s brown around the edge. some have flowers.

I love corelle stuff. OP, check for an outlet near you! you can buy the white or cream peices, and they all match everything!

They can break, I' broken many, but you have to work at it! lol!

Has anyone had there Corelle scratch? I bought a set of Dazzling White last week and returned it because a few of the pieces - even bowls - had scratches?  The sales clerk said this was rare... is it?  I loved the dishes but don't want to have marks all over them.

Thanks

Does CORELLE® contain lead?

All CORELLE® stoneware products and glazes are made of clay-based materials and glazes used throughout the industry. Decorations, if present, are made from low-lead enamels and fired at temperatures exceeding 1000 degrees F, which binds any heavy metals both physically and chemically so that their release is minimized. The current limit for presence of leachable lead in order to satisfy certain requirements is no more than 0.100 ppm (1 tenth of one part per million) when obtained under test conditions. At no time have World Kitchens results exceeded those which are permissible under the guidelines mentioned above (which are believed to be the most stringent in the world). Also note that tests for the presence of heavy metals are conducted for World Kitchen by internationally certified, third-party laboratories under strict conditions, by trained technicians, and using atomic absorption spectrophotometry analysis following carefully monitored preparation. These steps are necessary to minimize any possibility of contamination or false reading during preparation, testing or analysis.

We have plain white Corelle.  By weird fluke, we very cheaply acquired 12 place settings (ordered 8 on sale- long story) of dinner plates, salad plates, bowls, and mugs.  We like them a lot.  I like that they are non-toxic and sturdy and inexpensive and they look really, really nice..  I love that it matches and looks good with everything.

My baby eats off of a sectioned SugarBooger melamine plate but we don't get it hot, put hot food on it, or put it in the dishwasher so I'm really not worried about it at all.  She's obsessed with the owls on it and it matches her fork and spoons.
