Pfaltzgraff Napoli 16-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 4 Review

Pfaltzgraff Napoli 16-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 4

Let me start off by saying we have this set for 16 months now....the pattern is beautiful and everyone that comes to our house for dinner comments on how nice they are, but as most people have said, they chip very easily. We have spent OVER $800 on a service for 12, plus doubles in platters, serving bowls, the big pasta serving bowls, water pitcher, mixing bowl set, etc at the Company store (three 16pc. sets)and assorted pieces over the Internet...and 1/3 of them have assorted chips and cracks. We are NOT rough with these things at all, in fact we baby these things now...but God forbid something slips out of your hand, it's history! You have to be very careful not to have anything touch them in the dishwasher or there will be assorted chips out of all the items that came in contact...and this started from day one. I have replaced 7 pieces over the course of the year because of complete breakage! DO NOT buy the fluted edged pasta bowls, they are very fragile and chip if you just look at them! When we bought the set at the Pfaltzgraff store, they said they were dishwasher safe, that has since been rescinded because of all the problems with them. We had a previous set of dishes for 15 years and had 2 or 3 chips on the whole set...on these dishes we must have 25 to 30 chunks missing!...plus assorted cracks! Another reviewer mentioned the fact that they get hot in the microwave oven when you heat something in them and they were right on the money with their opinion....they are so hot after the cycle is done, you need a potholder to remove the dish, plus the food is not even heated! My wife wanted to bring these back to Pfaltzgraff after one week and I should have listened to her! What do you expect when this over-priced set is made in China! What a shame. I'll give them 2 stars because of the looks, but ZERO stars for durability = 1 Star
UPDATE: 10-5-2007...
I did a review earlier this year and I just had to update potential buyers, not about the dishes, but about the company Pfaltzgraff. Read the reviews, these dishes are so fragile they should be recalled by Pfaltzgraff, but they won't even address the problem, let alone deal with us customers that spent all this money...in our case, well over $800! It's now to the point (2 years) that we're considering buying another set of dishes because we are embarrassed to use them when we entertain. I have written 3 letters to Pfaltzgraff without a response...I have sent them 6 e-mails, without a response. I am VERY respectful to them, make no ultimatums, no threats, just a plea for help with THEIR product that is obviously improperly made. NO RESPONSE AT ALL! I have gone to 2 Pfaltzgraff Outlet Stores and the kind ladies in both said that a lot of their Chinese products are coming back chipped, cracked, and broken from just daily use and now they are instructed NOT TO ACCEPT ANY MORE RETURNS OR EXCHANGES ON THEM! Some company, huh?
So this is a classic example of "Buyer Beware". Our money is too hard to earn to throw it away on a product such as this. Don't fall the beauty, this will happen to you too. I can't tell you how many times a guest at our home has dropped a fork or clipped a dish with their drinking glass only to have a CHUNK of Napoli fall to the table! Horrible. Sorry Pfaltzgraff, you know you have a problem and you have refused to address it....and this is the only way to help others from committing the same mistake as all the other folks here that have purchased them.

Mikasa Antique White 45-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 8 Review

I know I drove my new husband nuts when we registered. I changed my mind about a million times, and researched everything on our registry. I was the worst when it came to choosing China. I looked first at various beautifully painted patterns, only to realize that they weren't dishwasher or microwave safe. And most of the White patterns were so dainty my husband wouldn't even pick them up in the stores, so I was terrified to have them around him and children, since we have 4 neices and 2 nephews under the age of 8. My solution came in this china.
The pattern is elegantly simple so it will never be dated and even though it's thin and light (yes, it's translucent, you can see light through it, but good china is supposed to be) it is a comfortable fit for everyone who uses it, from my 6'6" husband to our 2 year old neice.
This China is also microwave safe, dishwasher safe, oven safe and chip resistant. I've found this to hold true because my husband always overloads the sinks and dishwasher, and tends not to care where he puts things. My Mikasa china is holding up beautifully. My teacups have been used to bake souffles, freeze parfaits and all of the dishes have been repeatedly microwaved. Yes THIS CHINA IS OVEN, FREEZER, DISHWASHER, MICROWAVE ETC. PROOF! My only advise is wipe the cups before they go in the dishwasher.
If you like drinking the milk out of your cereal bowl, I would suggest either purchasing additional cereal bowls or purchasing the smaller set and definitely purchasing additional platters and vegetable bowls. This set comes with rimmed soup bowls and they are not good to sip out of.

Blending everyday durability with special-occasion flair, this 45-piece dinnerware collection makes a versatile option suited to a variety of living styles and needs. The handsome pieces feature chip-resistant, porcelain construction for long-lasting beauty even under rigorous use. Marked by subtly scalloped edges and a Colonial-style profile, the smoothly accented plates and bowls sport raised ridges that give way to slightly indented food surfaces, while the gently ridged mugs bring elegant dimension to the table. Furthermore, the pieces' lightweight, stackable design offers space-saving storage in cupboards, drawers, or hutches. Great for family meals and casual gatherings, the pure-white dishes layer tastefully together--and with complementary table linens and flatware--to create a truly fine dining experience. Microwave- and dishwasher-safe, the set includes eight place settings consisting of a 10-inch dinner plate, an 8-inch salad plate, a 10-inch rimmed soup bowl, a 6-1/2-inch saucer, and a 10-ounce teacup, as well as the following service pieces: 10-3/5-inch vegetable bowl, 12-inch round platter, 6-inch-tall creamer dish, and 6-inch-tall covered sugar bowl.
What's in the Box 8 place settings and 5 service pieces. Each place setting consists of: 10-inch dinner plate; 8-inch salad plate; 10-inch soup bowl; 6-1/2-inch saucer; 10-ounce teacup.

If this bowl falls off a coffee table onto a hardwood floor, it doesn't just break, it detonates into a million super sharp slivers all over the room. No good for children, old people or disabled people. Other than that, great.

I chose to purchase the 20 ounce salad/pasta bowl because I like the shallow, flat bowl for ease of movement of pasta sauce and salad dressing. Everything becomes coated much easier in this bowl type.

Pfaltzgraff Evening Sun 2-Quart Vegetable / Serve Bowl Review

Pfaltzgraff Evening Sun 2-Quart Vegetable / Serve Bowl

These dishes are beautiful but they have a couple of real problems.
They are supposed to microwave safe but the problem with them is that the dishes absorb all of the heat while the food stays cold! I have burned myself trying to reheat a cup of coffee - put cup in the microwave in for 1 minute, reached in, grabbed the cup handle and burned my hand. The coffee was lukewarm while the part of the cup not touching the coffee was burning hot. Same with the plates and bowls; any part of the dish not touching the still cool food (which never heats up) is like pulling ceramic out of an oven. Be careful - you WILL burn yourself. We now have to heat food in other dishes and then put it on the plate. And, since the plates absorb the heat not just from the microwave but also from hot food, you will find your hot food cold in no time.
On top of that, they chip if you look at them - not durable. I started out trying to replace them as they chip but have given up. Bought these two years ago to replace an older chipped up set of dishes that we'd had for years. These look just as bad at this point.
Very disappointed in this product. Won't buy Pfaltzgraff again.

The Johnson Brothers Regency is timeless. I have had my original pieces for 26 years and they still look wonderful.

The simplicity of white, elegantly fluted, works for nearly any occasion. Create a casual country atmosphere with gingham textiles and chunky glassware, or strike a note of urban sophistication with crystal stemware and dark subtly textured linens.

I just LOVE these bowls! I have two of them and use them during the holidays and throughout the winter season. They're not so Christmasy looking that you can't do that - it's just holly and berries, a normal winter bush. The white background is just pristine and it reminds you of snow. These bowls hold quite a bit and I've used them for everything from mashed potatoes for a crowd, to regular veggies. A true must-have if you already have these dishes, or even if you don't.
