I don't know if it will help with the chipping problem, but we have the essentials line from C&B. They're a very basic white with clean lines. They've held up very well and I don't feel like they chip/break too easily. More importantly, they're cheap enough to replace easily. I'm reasonably confident they won't discontinue the line since it's their budget dish. We've had them 6 years and I just replaced a few salad plates a couple weeks ago.

We got a basic white set from ikea. What I like is that they sell the set plus individual pieces. When we lost one of the bowls, we just bought a new one and it fits right in.

I have correlle and while I'd like to replace it just bc I'm bored of my pattern, it's at least 10 years old at this point, it refuses to break so I can't really justify the expense. Lol.

I need ham like water Like breath, like rain I need ham like mercy From Heaven's gate Sometimes ham salad or casserole or ham that’s free range, all natural I need ham
We also have Fiesta and the only thing I've broken was a really small bowl like a restaurant would bring lemons in. I dropped it and it hit my toe then shattered when it hit the ground. In contrast I've dropped plates and DS once threw a bowl and neither of those broke.
My grandparents every day Corelle is a million years old and in perfect condition. I'll be replacing my Pottery Barn set soon with Corelle. Can't beat the simplicity and durability.

Same. We've had ours a few years and not one has chipped or broken. Cheap, too!
I've never had an issue with anything chipping, but if it does, it's covered for five years. Their customer service is amazing. It's American made and the company is in a tiny little town on the Ohio River. I'm amazed that something so iconic has such a small company feel to it.
I have broken a couple pieces, but it's because of stupid stuff (like a platter tumbling out of my husband's truck onto the driveway.) and I wouldn't expect *any* dish to survive.

When my grandfather passed, we each took a Corelle plate and mug from the set my grandparents had owned since the 1970s.

I have my parents' set from the 90s and they are almost perfect. I think I've broken one plate in the past six years and I am clumsy and our kids have used the plates from an early age.
I kind of want a new pattern, but it seems wasteful to replace a perfectly serviceable set.

Sango plate sets are good. We've had ours for 11 years, and most have survived. The two that didn't, I caused them to break/crack. We have the black gold dust pattern

My parents have had theirs since the early 70s and my grandma has had hers even longer. It's the best dishware. (heart) ETA: I just looked. Corelle was first for sale in 1970. So my parents and grandma must have gotten theirs at roughly the same time.
We had a Corelle set for 10 years and just replaced them because I wanted a new pattern. They were in perfect shape still - no chips or breaks ever. We have this set now and I love it:

Plus fiesta is just fun! I have all different colors so for holidays can pick festive color schemes without having to have multiple sets of holiday dishes to store.
