    I really don’t mind the appearance of either set, but I’m not a fan of the way that the new ones break in the dish washer. Ceramic shards are sharp and the mechanical repairs are expensive. Not to mention replacing the full set of these fragile bowls every 6 months.

    Sincerely, someone who purchased bowls 30 years ago and discovered that modern craftsmanship is subpar.

        I think the set was from sears? I dunno, we’re back to the old set until my partner finds another design worth swapping to.

        Edit: it was target

          Order a set of corelle and call it a day until you find the bougie set they want to keep in a cabinet while you keep eating off the corelle

              I mean, it’s no longer “sears” though, if you get my meaning.

              You’re probably better off buying from Amazon or Temu at that point, but personally bowls from a quality store aren’t too expensive anyways given how much use they’ll typically get.

      Aiyaa.

      I found that Corell dishware is still as good today as ot was 40 years ago. Excellent stuff, light and tough. But when it does break, it breaks hard.

      Although it has been a while since I bought some.
