I love dinnerware! I have probably eleven different sets, two fine china, four different sets of white, a couple of stoneware sets, a square set, a black set, and a Christmas set. I guess you could say I am a collector. I have always loved dishes. I have to start downsizing soon, so don't know what I will do with all my beautiful dish sets.

You make me feel like we should start a support group! I'm always a little hesitant to say I own as least 3 Corelle patterns, 3 different Pfaltzgraff patterns, several vintage 50's patterns, the old Currier and Ives blue pattern, and a couple of Temp-tation patterns.

I love dishes and bakeware like other women like shoes! Glad to know I'm not alone.

When I visited family in Germany, I was surprised to see them use a different set for each meal. The breakfast set was decorated with strawberries...lunch had flowers and dinner was fine china.

I use different sets now for different meals too.

Good to hear! The only problem is, I have the same problem with shoes! lol I love Pfaltzgraff, though sadly I don't have any. Yet lol. I had the old Currier and Ives, it was my Mother's. I passed it down to my oldest son. I love it, it is so pretty and holds so many memories for me. My three sons have never had to buy dinnerware, they just get it from me.

Is Corelle light weight? For everyday dinners I used Fiestaware or Polish stoneware.

Can someone tell me if lifting four plates of Corelle would be a lot lighter weight than lifting four Fiestaware plates?

Corelle is very lightweight. I have trouble hefting my fiesta plates:/

Four plates of Corelle = 1 plate Fiesta. I think.

Thank you, both!

Lupus attacks hands quite often, and I noticed about a week ago that lifting down the Fiestaware plates was not comfortable. I worried I might drop them.

I thought about getting a nice set of Melamine but would rather get something more durable.

They have very nice white porcelain dishes at the Dollar Tree. They have all the pieces to make a set so 4 place settings of a mug, bowl, dessert and dinner plate would only cost $16.
