Review of Pfaltzgraff Providence 48-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 12

I have owned this dinnerware for less than one year.During that time, 8 or more of the pieces (mostly the small plates and the bowls) have developed a through-and-through crack across the diameter of the piece.They basically broke into two pieces.One small plate was delivered that way.This occurred with normal usage.

The manufacturer replaced the items willingly with advice that one should rotate the pieces used in the microwave. Also, I was advised not use a piece in the microwave oven for 24-48 hours after the bottom of the piece had adsorbed water through the unglazed ring on the bottom where the plate contacts the table.These are burdensome restrictions and that have not been required for other dinnerware I have owned.

Another problem: The cups in this set have wide tops and quite small bottoms.Any little tap knocks them over.This results in the cups falling out of cabinets when bumped and spilling (sometimes hot) liquid when in use at the table.

Not recommended.
