Corelle Portofino Dinnerware Set vs Corelle Sadie 16-Piece Dinnerware Set

Both are Corelle's laminated tempered glass, so they share the same strengths: light, chip-resistant, stackable, microwave and dishwasher safe. The Portofino set is the larger buy: 32 pieces for eight people, including soup bowls and three plate sizes, and it is oven safe to 350F. The Sadie set is 16 pieces for four, with dinner plates, salad plates, bowls and mugs, and its listing only confirms dishwasher safety. Buy Portofino for a full household or a household that hosts; buy Sadie for a smaller table that wants mugs included.

• Choose the Portofino if you feed eight people, want soup bowls and appetizer plates in the set, and want oven-to-table flexibility.
• Choose the Sadie if you set four places, want mugs in the box, and prefer a quieter pattern.
