Me too!!! I have Mikasa stoneware. After the issues from the first set I bought, I said I would never buy it again. Many years later, I bought another set, and again, lots of chipping. I thought that maybe their product had improved through the years. Our plates are just awful and our coffee mugs are cracked in the bottom of the mug, not all the way through. I had the opportunity to stay with my brother for an extended period of time (6 mos.)and we used a plain, white, inexpensive set from Wal-mart. They bought two sets of 8 place settings...they have 5 children. It never chipped! I couldn't believe it! I recently found a set at JC Penneys. I went home and looked online and many smart women posted reviews, and again, lots of chipping. Good Luck! I am going to watch your post for all the good advice that you are going to get!
