Nice but strong crockery

[Shaolin]

We currently have a selection of plates, bowls etc. that are the survivors of 3 sets that we bought with the usual few inclusions that we have no idea where they came from.

Mrs. S. is wanting a nice "set" again. Is it possible to get nice-with-tough to better withstand the bumps and knocks that plates etc. get on a daily basis or should I just get 2 (or even 3) sets in the first place to cope with the inevitable breakages?

Wear a helmet, the new crockery will bounce off and not implode on your steel bonce.

Denby is good quality, and fairly robust as well.

I haven't got a clue what sytle your looking for, but we had the Jamie Oliver set from John Lewis as a wedding present, and it's nigh on indestructable...

4 years on and it still has the names, etc all fully visible on the bottom.

Buy from somewhere like Nisbets (jfgi) and get industrial quality. And buy extra. Things will chip if you throw them around, but you should get a few years.

Indeed, had mine a decade and the only bit I've broken is one of the pasta bowl things, which are thinner than almost everything else.
