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.

THEY BREAK IN THE DISHWASHER?

And the dust is fine enough to go through the dish washer filter. It's truly annoying

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

Where the hell are you buying bowls?

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

I'm concerned when you say the new ones were from Sears. Sears closed in 2005....

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 hours ago

They still have an online store

Edit: and also 5 physical stores, apparently. Neat

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.

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

[-] rbos@lemmy.ca 8 points 14 hours ago

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.
