Corelle Portofino Dinnerware Set vs Famiware Star 24-Piece Stoneware Dinnerware Set

Buy the Corelle Portofino if you want a large, light set that stacks tight, survives drops and goes in the oven. Buy the Famiware Star if you want a heavier stoneware look with a matte reactive glaze and don't need extra plates or oven use. Corelle's Vitrelle glass is the proven chip-resister and weighs far less; Famiware's 24 pieces are thicker, warmer in feel and each piece varies in glaze, which owners tend to like. Famiware rates 4.9 from 223 ratings, but Corelle's decades-long durability record is the safer bet for clumsy households and small kitchens.

• Choose the Corelle Portofino if you want 32 pieces, oven-safe plates, featherweight stacking and the best odds against chips.
• Choose the Famiware Star if you prefer substantial stoneware, a matte ribbed finish and glaze variation over piece count.
