Sylvia 32 Piece Dinnerware Set vs Famiware Star 24-Piece Stoneware Dinnerware Set

Buy the Famiware Star if you want a modern matte look and the toughest everyday plates. Buy the Sylvia if you want a full service for eight with mugs and a traditional scroll pattern. The Sylvia gives you more pieces: 32 versus 24, with mugs the Famiware set lacks. The Famiware is stoneware fired at 2340°F, and owners rate it higher at 4.9 versus 4.6. Sylvia owners praise the porcelain weight and pattern but report some breakage in shipping.

• Choose the Sylvia if you want mugs included and a classic white scroll pattern for family meals and entertaining.
• Choose the Famiware Star if you prefer a matte, ribbed stoneware look and want the more chip-resistant set.
