Everyday White China?

[Upennmama]

Can someone recommend a good every day white china which is relatively inexpensive, yet durable?

We use this set here at my office and it's held up well and I think very pretty.

Crate and Barrel make a quality white china, as does Mikasa (they have several different patterns). I'm pretty sure that Target has one too.

I don't know about china, but I use Corell ware. They are very durable. But they may not be what you are looking for.

The plain white dinnerware I have I purchased at a restaurant supply store. It's certainly thicker than china but it's simple and durable and very inexpensive. But my favorite set of everyday dinnerware is plain, clear glass plates. I think they are made by Anchor-Hocking. They are almost indestructible go with everything. I collect different placemats on sale and then place them under these plates and it looks lovely. Also, the restaurant supply store has pretty paper doilies in bulk that I think are used under pastries and such. They look charming under the clear glass plates, too.

tcinsa - You sound a lot like me! I feel that white dinnerware is so much better on the table! I also have the indestructible glass dishes. You can fix such a beautiful table for anyday of the week or any special occasion with these!

It's true, setting a lovely table doesn't have to be expensive. I would love to have some gorgeous china one day but right now, I think I'd worry too much about it getting accidentally broken by some exuberant child.

With all the appliances and cooking gadgets these days - there is not enough room in kitchen for everything! That is why I chose plain white and glass for table settings. If I ever do get the room - there is one set I would like to get - it's an English rose pattern trimmed in gold. But for now - white and glass is fine. I spent enough money on both too! But they have lasted me for some time so I cannot complain!

I love Crate & Barrel's classic white too. I've ordered these oversized pasta/salad bowls many times to give as gifts... Love, Love Love them!
