Whether it was switching to a heavier pan, replacing an old pot, or finally buying quality cookware, I'm curious what made the biggest difference for you.
What upgrade would you recommend to every home cook?
I’m looking for a new dinnerware set for my home because we want matching dishes. I fell in love with this Pioneer Woman vintage lace pattern, but I am VERY sad to see that there’s only 2 plate sizes and 1 bowl. What we have now is 2 plate sizes and 3 bowl sizes. We really need pasta bowls
And since I’m wanting to buy a matching set, I’d also like to get matching pieces from the collection. For example, this line has a few casserole dishes (that I hate due to lack of handles), serving dishes, etc.
I have searched high and low and I just have not found a pattern like this ANYWHERE. I really want a set with a vintage lace design, in either ivory, cream, or a light pink color like pictured. I think the closest I’ve found is a couple designs from Elama, but they don’t have pasta bowls or dessert plates.
I’m open to buying vintage, as long as it’s microwave and dishwasher safe and is a durable material.
What we need:
Dinner plates
Salad plates
Dessert plates
Pasta bowls
Cereal bowls
Some kind of bowl smaller than that would be a plus
Other items like casserole, serving, and decorative dishes would be a plus
So is there another pattern similar to this that kinda fits what I’m looking for? Or is there a pattern that I could pair up with this that would complement it?? Thanks for any input!
It's my mother heirloom to me.

We're ready to replace our everyday dishes and are struggling to find something that checks all the boxes. We love the handcrafted pottery/stoneware look and prefer colors other than white or cream. However, every set we like seems to have reviews mentioning chipping, cracking, or breaking from normal use, dishwasher cycles, or heat.
What dinnerware sets have actually held up well for you over time? Bonus points if they're: • Durable and chip-resistant • Microwave and dishwasher safe • Available in colors (blues, greens, earthy tones, etc.) • Have that artisan/pottery aesthetic without being overly heavy
What brands or specific sets would you buy again? And are there any that you would avoid?
Thanks!
Unfortunately no markings on the back. Came in a box that also had a ton of wheat by Lenox r-442. My mom thinks they’re probably from the 40s or 50s and potentially from France. They’re roughly 8in diameter. Already tried google image search and replacements.com but no exact matches came up. Would love any info on them!
