      I'm in the market for a set of dishes. The consensus is:

      • Corelle - lightweight and solid
      • Fiestaware - built to last

      I'm not a fan of either unfortunately. Not because these brands are bad, but I'm looking for a particular look. Something akin to stoneware with a darker color. I also prefer heavier dishes. Unfortunately stoneware is known (or said) to chip easily. I'm not looking for something that will survive being dropped (I don't remember the last time I dropped a plate). This is the first selling point that gets brought up I've noticed.

      What did you choose and what has been your experience? Has your stoneware chipped after washing & stacking?

      EDIT
      I forgot to provide more details about my situation to help with recommendations.

      • I'm in the US
      • No family/single, but plan to host for a small group on an occasion (~4 people)
      • I'm starting from scratch and would like a set that works in all situations + everyday use. I'm willing to splurge (assuming it's quality and lasts).
