My two daughters want my vintage Corelle, not a piece of grandma's china. Cups use to come with the set then the cup design changed to odd, then none at all. I bought six of the small plates with the Prairie Garden Red pattern a few weeks ago. I had one plate break in half after a fall and it was years old. Corelle replaced it even when I said I dropped it.

I've had Corelle for years and all we use. I have a collection of Fiesta sitting in my china cabinet, my Mother's Desert Rose collection in another cabinet and sitting up in a cabinet is a set of dishes my daughter gave me years ago. Gave my set of Christmas dishes to another daughter. And I still only use my Corelle. Interestingly, I love that new one; but just can't justify another set of dishes. Paper plates are pretty awesome too. lol

I bought Corelle for my first apartment and used it for about 20 years. That was the early 80s and it was the white with gold border pattern, you'd recognize it if you saw it. Then when my son got older I started using my Pfaltzgraff Yorktowne stoneware, but I got upset with the callous way he treated it and chipped it slamming it around when putting away the dishes. Hubby didn't take proper care of it either, so I boxed it away for 10+ years. After son left the house I gave the hubby a stern warning and brought it out again and bought a hutch for it, I have gotten a lot of display and serving pieces at the thrift stores over the years.
In the last few years I've really gotten fond of those nice square Corelle casserole dishes, the ones with the blue flowers and clear lids. They are just great, work in the microwave, store well, never break, etc. Again, picked up mine from the thrift store.
And nothing wrong with paper plates, especially for those that don't want to do dishes
Edit/PS: I was picking some stuff up at the store the other day and the people ahead of me had some check-out issues, it seemed to be a developmentally disabled young man and his helper. Had plenty of time to look around and I was caught by a Bic lighter with a cross-stitch design on it of all things! LOL almost bought it just because but I don't need any lighters but I knew in my heart if it was a quilting pattern I would have gotten it.
