I purchased quite a few pieces of Corelle Corningware recently and am I glad that I did! As soon as I started to use these pieces I started dropping them! ( This was one of the things that motivated our purchases. ) Chronic arthritis has caused me problems with grasping and holding some things. My new Corningware is virtually indestructible! I haven't had a crack or chip since I purchased them. Thank You Corningware. Sincerely, A very happy consumer.
