What’s so special about Corelle? This USA-based company uses a proprietary manufacturing process that involves thermally bonding exterior glass layers to an interior core. This makes for some very durable plates and serve-ware. Not only that, but Vitrelle® glass is refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and oven safe. Corelle Vitrelle® glass dinnerware pieces are made in the USA and backed by a limited 3-year warranty.

We’ve featured the Splendor Dinnerware set, but the Corelle Square™ Collection has 16 different designs to choose from.

Rachel Ray, the well-known TV personality of Food Network fame, also puts her name on household products from cookware to food storage to dishes. The Cucina 16-piece stoneware dinnerware set is a solid-color set available in 6 different hues. We like the lavender purple, purely because it was unique and fun, but there are also neutral colors including almond cream, cranberry red, pumpkin orange, agave blue and mushroom brown.

Each set comes with service for 4 that includes a 10.5” dinner plate, 8” salad plate, 5.5” cereal/soup bowl and a 12 ounce mug. The dishes are dishwasher and microwave safe, and they can even go in the oven for warming at up to 20 minutes at 250 degrees.

If solid-color stoneware isn’t quite what you’re looking for, Rachel Ray does have some other options, including:

• Rachel Ray Little Hoot Stoneware
• Rachel Ray Scroll Stoneware

When it comes to dinnerware, Lenox is a name that needs no introduction. Many people think of Lenox when shopping for fine dining and special occasion table settings, but If you want serious quality, durability, and style in your everyday dinnerware, then it’s is an excellent brand to choose. They make beautifully crafted pieces featuring intricate designs.

We’ve chosen to feature the Butterfly Meadow® collection, because we love the back to nature feel, and beautiful colors of these exquisite scalloped edged dishes. The dishes within each dinnerware set feature different butterflies, flittering among a variety of floral blooms. When you set your table, you can choose to give each person the dishes that have the same pattern, or you can mix and match so it feels like taking a walk through a meadow. These dishes are not only lovely, but they are practical too since they dishwasher, microwave, oven, refrigerator and freezer safe.

Lenox understands that not every one has the same needs with regards to place settings. For example, you can chose the 28 piece set, with service for 4 which includes a 11" dinner plate, 9" salad plates, 6-3/4" fruit dishes, 6" party plates, 12-oz mug, 16-oz bowl, and 12-oz dessert bowl for each person. Or if you don’t need that many sizes of dishes, the 18 piece set includes 6 dinner plates, salad plates, mugs. You can also add one of the many complementary sets such as one that comes with a deep 10" serving bowl and 6 wide bowls that are perfect for salad, pasta or soup.

Lenox also understands that choosing the perfect dinnerware is a matter of personal preference. If butterflies and flowers aren’t your style, you might consider one of these other dinnerware sets:

• Chirp Stripe by Lenox
• French Perle Charm by Lenox
• Entertain 365 Sculpture Confetti by Lenox
• Oceanside by Lenox

Lenox dinnerware is covered by their breakage replacement program, which gives you the ability to purchase replacement pieces at one-half the list price if an item breaks under normal use.

Pfaltzgraff may be hard to pronounce, but it isn’t hard to see the quality in their products. This brand began in 1811 as a small pottery company, and over the years has grown to produce dinnerware, flatware, home accents, and more. Needless to say, any review for table settings would be incomplete without something from Pfaltzgraff and we chose to showcase the Trellis White dinnerware set because we loved the versatility of its simple design.

Each dish is adorned with a pattern that was intended to give the feel of a metal trellis that had been painted white and weathered over time, giving the dishes a subtle worn, aged look. There is also a raised scroll along the edge of each dish, adding the eye-catching appeal. Inspired by a trellis in the middle of a summer garden, these dishes would be a great addition to homes with a rustic, cottage or country design. Actually, we think that the right accents, they could fit in to a modern design as well – or upon the table in a bachelor pad.

Made from high quality, durable stoneware these dishes are refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher safe. This set comes with service for four and includes an 11-inch dinner plate, an 8-inch salad plate, a 6-inch bowl and a 12-ounce mug for each person.

The Trellis dinnerware set exudes craftsmanship, but the rustic look isn’t for everyone. Not to worry though; this brand produces dishware in a variety of motifs. Here are just a few of the dinnerware sets offered by Pfaltzgraff:

• Pfaltzgraff Montego Dinnerware Set
• Pfaltzgraff Painted Poppies Dinnerware Set
• Pfaltzgraff French Quarter Dinnerware Set

Many of Pfaltzgraff’s dinnerware sets are available in the form of service for 4, 8, or 12, or 16.

If you’re on the hunt for the ideal dinnerware set and you love variety, then Gibson is a good brand to check out. They have sets in just about every color shape, and pattern you could imagine. Some sets are great for casual, day-to-day use, while others work for both formal and informal dining. If you want a durable, inexpensive option that can be used inside or out, a melamine dinnerware set like those that are in the Studio Line, designed by Laurie Gates.

There are eight different design options within this collection but one thing that they all have in common is that they are colorful and fun looking, drawing inspiration from Laurie’s experiences as a rural farmer as well as life in Southern California. There are four bold solids blue, burgundy, golden yellow and green and four two-tone options with bright colors on the inside and vibrant patterns on the outside. We have pictured the whimsical, California Party Circles because just looking at then screams out fun! For an eclectic look, you could mix dishes from one of the solid sets, with one of the pattern ones and set a amazing tablescape for sure. These dinnerware sets come with service for four and include an 11" dinner plate, a 9" salad plate and a 6" bowl for each person.

The “downside” of these Melamine dishes is that they are not safe for use in microwave or conventional ovens, but on the positive side, they are chip resistant and can be used for both indoor and outdoor dining. While they are top-rack safe in the dishwasher, Gibson recommends hand washing them to ensure they last you a life time.

While we love the fun and casual nature of the Studio Line collections, you may want something that’s maybe not so casual. If so, Gibson has plenty of other choices since they are the country’s leading producer of dinnerware, glassware, cookware, flatware, coffee and tea accessories, kitchen tools and gadgets and house ware products. You are sure to recognize some of their family of brand such as Oster, Mr. Coffee, Sunbeam and Crock-Pot®.

• The Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummand, Dinnerware
• Florence Broadhurst Dinnerware
• Isaac Mizrahi Dinnerware
• Clinton Kelly Dinneware
• Trish Richmond Dinneware
