Which set is better for a family of six or more?

The Sylvia. It serves eight with plates, bowls and mugs, and costs less than the four-setting Lenox set.

Is the Lenox worth the extra money?

Only if you want the matte textured look and large 10.75 inch plates. You get half the place settings and no mugs for about $9 more.

Which has bigger bowls?

The Sylvia bowls hold 29 oz; the Lenox all-purpose bowls hold 24 oz.

Do both go in the dishwasher and microwave?

Yes. Both are porcelain and rated microwave and dishwasher safe.

Which is more likely to arrive broken?

Sylvia buyers report occasional shipping breakage, mostly mug handles and bowls. Lenox pieces are fewer and larger, so there is less to break, but check the box on arrival either way.

Can I mix the two sets?

Not well. The Sylvia is glossy with scroll trim and the Lenox is matte and textured, so they look mismatched on the same table.
