 great stuff Nov 10, 2006
By J. Hawkins
Okay, I decided to write a review about this particular design of Corelle because there was one flaw!!
The ACTUAL color of the designs on the plates are much lighter than pictured here. I thought this was a good mix of masculine and femanine (definitely refreshing compared to all the florals this company usually has) and was totally in love with the darker colors.
However, upon receiving these plates, the colors are really more pastel and "girly". The dark lines are a lighter brown- but look almost black in this picture. Mine also have a few 'mistakes' in the pattern- smudges and things. This could be due to the fact that this is a brand new design and all the kinks haven't been worked out yet.
So, if you get over the color issues these really are fantastic plates. I grew up with Corelle plates and was looking forever for a modern and fresh design. After about 12 years my mother decided to get rid of her/our set because she was sick of them! Not one plate broke. Even after being dropped and banged into things multiple times. So the plates outlived her desire to have them. They never scratch and are so functional and pratical that it is unbelievable. Just find a design you really like because you won't ever have to get rid of these! No chipping, no scarring, and they always look as if you just bought them. Even years and years later. Great for every day use especially in a family full of kids.
In the end I decided to keep the two sets of this design I ordered and it has grown on me. It is a great design, but would be better if the color was bolder as it is in the image here. I love the fact that this set came with mugs...but realize that they are stoneware and not the same material as the plates so they probably won't last as long. I wish they would offer luncheon plates in this design too!

Ordered a second set Sep 18, 2011
By JKLineberry
My husband and I received Pfalztgraff Stone Wear for our wedding and it was so heavy getting them in and out of the cupboard, we hated using them. After 10 years they were chips and crazing so I decided to get new dishes that would have a nice modern patter with colors I liked that would be lightweight. My husband is also very good at breaking things so I wanted something tough.
I immediately remebered the Corelle dishes my mom had when I was very young. We all know them. The green daisy patter around the rim? Yup, that's them.
I looked to Corelle and fell in love with this pattern. I wish you could buy the sets without the mugs, because unless I'm an odd duck, doesn't everyone have a favorite mug? I have no use for the mugs, so off to Goodwill they went. After using the dishes for a week, I realized that the dinner plates were a little big and the bread and butter plates were a little small. I went ahead and ordered 8 of the 8 1/2 inch plates because it was getting increasingly difficult to find this pattern and wanted to grab them when I could. They were perfect!
I love the icy blue, sage green and chocolate brown pattern, they are my 3 favorite colors, so the design would have to have been hideous for me not to love them!
My only complaint and why I took one star away, is the heat. If you're like we are, we don't eat at a table much. We usually sit in the living room and eat. The bottom of these dishes get extremely hot/cold. So if you're eating soup or ice cream, you'll need a pot holder to protect your skin. I suppose if we actually ate at a table, this wouldn't matter much
If my review has helped you while considering this item, please click "Yes" this review was helpful to let me know. Thanks!

great for everyday use! Jan 19, 2007
By C. Casanova
"Organic is best!"
I really liked the design of this set. It has a fun and playful design which is great for everyday use. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because one of the sets, even though the same design was less bright then the rest. The greens and blues just weren't as brightly colored. More like they had some fading. Must be something that happened at the factory because from what I know, the colors will never fade. These were a great price too!

 Perfect casual setting Feb 08, 2007
By Rosa M.
I was a bit hesitant at first about ordering this product via Amazon because of some the negative reviews I had read about their shipping mishaps with Corelle dishes. However, I decided to do so and was glad that I did. The dishes came in tact. I was also very pleased with the pattern of dishes I chose. I was looking for something casual that would please both my partner's taste as well as my own, and happily succeeded. Happy Shopping

Great Family Set Nov 01, 2007
By et2980
The other reviewer was right, the colors aren't as dark as you see in the product description and the green is a bit more of a lime green/chartreuse color.
The bread and butter plates are too small for kids to use so I went ahead and purchased the 8 1/2" luncheon plates. The plates are durable, hold up well in the dishwasher and they don't take up much space in the cabinets. The pattern is a little more modern than the standard flower Corelle pattern.
