I registered for these dishes for my wedding, and I LOVE how they look and the range of serving dishes, but we were very dismayed by how easily they chip! The china dept. rep at Macy's said the clue was the sticker that says they are not microwaveable. The glaze also tends to craze (get small cracks in it), that then allows food to seep in which stains the pottery. So here we are with 10 different platters, accessories and 8 place settings that are not going to last. Learn from my mistake!I only wish Lenox would re-design the plates so they don't have these problems, because I truly love their look.

Here's a tip too - when you run them through the dishwasher, turn the heated dry settings off. I've had mine for 4 years now and have no chips or cracks in mine. My brother also has a similar setting and has indicated that his have cracked as well. We have figured out it's because he uses the dryer setting on his dishwasher and I don't. Hope it helps!
