| Corelle is a down-market brand, so forget prestige; there ain't none. However, Corelle is very practical, everyday dishes that take a lot of abuse. I have once-clear (French) glass dishes that are now scratched and really not attractive. Corelle doesn't show any scratches, doesn't nick and doesn't stain. And they're microwavable and oven-to-table (if less than 400 degrees). The only negatives, other than the brand, are they tend to be thin and have uniform thickness -- don't look nor feel like fine ceramic tableware. At least this set has an inoffensive pattern. |
