I have a set of Wedgewood English Bone China in the Belle Fleur pattern....my deceased DH didn't want me to use them because they would break so they've been sitting in the china cabinet, exploding. If you hear what sounds like a gun shot at close range, you've just lost another plate or veggie dish.
I can honestly say, I've never broken or chipped even one piece. It has a life of it's own.
I have another set made in Poland that doesn't explode tho it appears to be bone china. Very pretty with very dainty pink roses and gold trim.
I use my Oneida stoneware every day and have my Corelle on the top shelf that I've had for eons and just tired of it.
