Corelle 12-Piece Modern Round Dinnerware Set vs Mikasa Watercolor Forest 16-Piece Bone China Set

Buy the Corelle Modern Round set if you want everyday dishes that survive kids, dishwashers and hard knocks. Buy the Mikasa Watercolor Forest set if you want a patterned bone china table for guests and don't mind thin plates. Corelle's triple-layer Vitrelle glass is light, chip-resistant and oven safe to 350°F, and owners treat it as near-indestructible. Mikasa's bone china looks more refined and its 16 pieces include mugs, but owners describe the plates as very thin and the set has no serving pieces.

• Choose the Corelle Modern Round if you need durable, stackable, oven-safe dishes for daily family meals.
• Choose the Mikasa Watercolor Forest if you want a decorative bone china set with mugs for sit-down dinners and entertaining.
