This just boggles my mind! I thought my sister was the only one who loves Corelle! I'll leave her and her thin 25 yr old dishes alone now. I like big heavy plates, bowls and pretty cups! So I am of no help here.

I love my corelle! And it is not 35 years old......when we built our house and moved 10 years ago.....I wanted to start over so I did away with the dishes I had and started buying white corelle. I still love it and it is still white as snow.I like that you can buy the pieces separately as well, different size bowls, small plates, large plates, etc. LOVE IT.

I had Pfaltzgraff and noticed the same thing. I guess it really did not bother me that much...however, I did not have white dishes. I gave that set to our son when he moved out. I hate to put alot of money into dishes...I'd rather buy cheaper and be able to get new sets when the mood strikes me! My MIL had Corelle...she really liked it.

I'm a Corelle girl myself. I know there are other dishes that are prettier but the feel of the Corelle ware does it for me. I have three different sets all mixed together,,,,,,the blue roses, the tiny blue flowers and the navy blue fings. I like that they are so lightweight and don't make a lot of noise and they dry so quickly in the dish drainer.
