My husband and I have been married almost 24 years and with that, our set of plain dishes we registered for decades ago is now missing pieces and outdated. That being said - this stunning of Nordic Blue Corelle Storeware pieces was the missing set we needed to clear out the old and usher in the new. The plates are amazing with the lip on them - perfect for pastas and not worrying about sauce rolling off your plate and the bowls - no sooner did I wash them, then they were used my our daughter for soup and ice cream (separate of course)! I love the cups too - the insulated discreet covering on the cup and then add the top to keep things cold or hot (or even the bugs out when you take your drink outside) - perfect idea!! I definitely need to get another set of these to round us out at a 8 place setting!!
