OP: Mine dishes are 8 years old...I guess I remember my mom's dishes which we had my whole life growing up ...but maybe I'm asking too much from my dishes. What do you do with the old stuff? Goodwill? [ Reply | More

A good portion of C&B dishes are not dishwasher and/or microwave safe. They don't really tell you this unless you ask and/or look for the info. And I did, which is why I didn't register for dishes there. I registered for Charter Club, which is or was Macy's house brand, loved the pattern, and they still look brand new. Williams Sonoma has pretty nice dishes, and all should be micro/dishwasher safe, but make sure you ask. Department stores can have nice selections of good brands of casual dishes, including Dansk (they have independent stores as well), Fiestaware, Denby, Mikasa and Lenox (casual patterns), Villeroy & Boch, Portmeiron, Pfaltzgraff, Noritake etc. BE SURE TO ASK ABOUT MICROWAVE AND DISHWASHER SAFETY. This is why you are getting your cracks. Also, check outlet stores -- you can get good deals. [ Reply | More
