- Is this set really stoneware?
- No. Corelle dinnerware is made of laminated glass, which is why the pieces are thin and light. Treat any stoneware label as an error.
- How many people does the 16-piece set serve?
- Four. It includes four dinner plates, four bowls and eight smaller plates, so each person gets a dinner plate, a bowl and two side plates.
- Can it go in the microwave and dishwasher?
- Yes, every piece is microwave and dishwasher safe. It is rated for oven use up to 350°F only, so keep it out of the broiler.
- Will the pattern fade?
- The print is applied to the glass, and some owners report fading after years of dishwasher use. Hand washing the decorated side helps it last longer.
- How does it compare with Corelle's plain white sets?
- The plates and bowls are the same laminated glass construction. The Country Cottage version adds the blue print, which some buyers find hides light scratches and wear.
- Does it chip easily?
- Corelle's laminated glass is far more chip-resistant than ceramic or stoneware, and most owners report years of use without chips. It can still break if dropped on a hard floor.
- Where is the Corelle Country Cottage cheapest?
- At Target, for $54.99, as of our latest check.
