I have had the coupe plates, cereal bowls, rice bowls, and cups for 15 years. We use them everyday. They have been great, only one piece has chipped and they go in the dishwasher all the time (with no trouble fitting into 2 different machines). My complaint is with the square plates that don't seem to be listed here anymore. They are blue on top and bottom, kind of like the little prep plates I see. They chip very easily and every one that we have has at least one, sometimes several chips. It's like the surface on them is a matte feel and the round plates with white on the top feel like a "glassy" slick finish. I would absolutely recommend the round, white plates and bowls but *not* the dishes that are blue on top and bottom.
