Nearly 30 years ago in Australia I purchased a full set of this corning ware, very similar to what we have just purchased again. After all those years of constant use and with children growing up about 70% of that original set is unbroken. We still use it and it still looks good. No stains - as white as the day they were bought! If you drop it onto a hard surface it will possibly break, but they are very tough and very light weight. So for our 20th Wedding Anniversary we bought 2 sets of 4 with a server set and another 8 luncheon plates. They arrived on the first day specified which was our anniversary. We are very happy that after all the years this product is still available and still as good. We highly recommend. Just one point we were disappointed with. The mugs are not the same corning ware material. They are stoneware. They still are very nice though.
We have used them often in the microwave and for the last 12 years washed them in the dishwasher and the pattern has not faded. We have every reason to believe this new purchase will be the same.
