Mugs and Cereal Bowls are chipping - its sad.
April 3, 2013
I registered for a ton of Great White dinnerware and the majority of my mugs and cereal bowls are chipped at the rim within two years. It is very sad. I love the color and I'd planned to keep this dinnerware for years to come, but it doesn't look like that will be possible. Too bad because it's not like this stuff is cheap. Very disappointing.

Complete Disappointment
February 11, 2013
I purchased a set less than a year ago and most of my salad plates are chipped. A week ago I discovered that one of the bowls had cracked and split in half after I pulled it out of the dishwasher. I am so frustrated to find out Pottery Barn would sell such poor quality items.
Will not purchase again or attempt to replace.

Unfortunate
December 26, 2012
We love the size and design but after having the set for only 2 months, we have already had to replace chipped cups and one of the bowls which just fell apart in the dishwasher.

Great dishes!
December 13, 2012
I love these dishes. Between the salad plates and the dinner plates you get the perfect sizes you need and all the dishes are great quality.

Do not buy them
December 8, 2012
I have now gone through two sets of the great white dinnerware. At least half of my dishes have chipped. The first set (coupe) I returned and they suggested I try the traditional set as a high quality china. I have had them 4 months and two mugs and four bowls have chipped. I will not be buying any more- and hoping the store will accept a return on my pieces that have chipped. These dishes need to be completely revised for strength. Even though I love the design, there is no sense in buying them over and over again.

Salad plates are defective
December 3, 2012
We've had this set a year now and 6 of the 8 salad plates have broken by heat of the dishwasher or microwave due to a defect in the bottom of the plates. There's a small hole on the bottom of the plate in the square ridge where they were taken off the kiln when they were made and every single one of them have broken through those holes. The cups aren't that well made and a lot of them have chipped. The big plates are really heavy and cumbersome. Lots of less expensive stores carry these square plates now so I wouldn't bother with these again.

Coffee Cup Rim Chips
November 5, 2012
Purchased in May 2012, LOVE the look, clean design, but after 2 months of daily use in our household of 2, had to replace 2 cups with chips. Three months later, I have 3 cups with chips. This is not happening with my other dinnerware. Please, just make the coffee cup rims stronger, and I'll be in to purchase additional pieces to add to my set.

Nice for Everyday Use
August 13, 2012
I love the dishes, very clean lines and simple, but they are a lighter weight than I would have expected. Like some others, I have also had chipping problems. The rim is slightly thinner and therefore chips easily when it comes into contact with other dishes (I've chipped a couple coffee cups and bowls within 3-4 months of owning).

Great White Traditional Dishes
June 20, 2012
Have always wanted these dishes since my daughter put them on her wedding registry......got a set on sale and will continue to collect more as time goes by.
I don't understand why people say they chip....my daughter has had hers for nearly two years (with a rough household) and has never had one chip yet.

I have admired these dishes for a long time, and I had enough reward points to get a complete set for a song! I'm thrilled! They're more beautiful in person, no chip problems, wash like a dream (no scratches from knives)....they're perfect! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!

So far, hard use and no cracks or chips.

Disappointed
April 4, 2012
We got two full sets of the Great White dinnerware for shower gifts in 2008. Everything is gorgeous. It's nice and heavy and you can tell the quality is high.
We ordered two sets of the dinner plates to replace a few that have gotten chipped over the years. I was very surprised when I received the plates because they are considerably "cheaper" feeling than the ones we currently have. In fact, they are as thin and light as some dinnerware sets you'd get from a mass merchandiser. We're keeping them because it's just the two of us and we use them as everyday plates but we won't be replacing anything else with items from this set.

everyday dinnerware

Soup plate and salad plate are to much alike. I feel the soup dish is NOT deep enough.
Wish I would have seen it in person before I purchase it.

Perfect.
January 11, 2012
It literally took me 18 months to decide on a new set of every day dishes. Initially thought that this set was too expensive seeing as we still have young children at home. I was very wrong...these are worth every penny! Lovely both at the kitchen table on a weekday evening or at the holiday dinner with guests! Have used daily for the last 6 weeks and no breaks or accidents (more than I can say for my last stoneware set). Classic lines, sturdy yet delicate enough to be feminine, and white to match with anything!

Great Dishes for All Occassions

We decided to change our everyday dishes to plain white and these work Great. They are large and great for special occasions or everyday use. We change the salad plate depending on the holiday and white works well with anything. Love them!!!!

love the traditional dinnerware
November 18, 2011
a friend has this dinnerware and i was looking for a change for myself. i ordered them online and they were delivered with in a few days and in perfect condition.
i'm enjoying the simple clean cut lines and the weight is not heavy and that is something i look for. i can dress them up for a little more dressy occasion w/o using my china and also look wonderful for a causal dinner.
if you purchase the GW Traditional you will not be disappointed.

Great White
October 21, 2011
It was clearly stated that there are two types of Great White dinnerware... The type I received is NOT the Great White that I wanted and was disappointed as to the design of the dishes.
I just wish you would CLEARLY delineate the differences between the two sets... the plates have such a different look to them.

My dinnerware
October 13, 2011
I love my new bright white dinnerware. I checked so many companies before I made my purchase, checking mainly for bowl design, durability, plate size, and ease of replacement. I am delighted!!!! Can't wait to use different colored accessories for the holidays and enjoy the white for spring and summer.

We pair the Great White Trad Dinnerware with the Suppertime set, and the two really compliment each other. I especially love the GWTD Soup bowls for salads, pasta and soup--the wide rim is really nice. Also, the dinner plates are huge, and the mugs have a nice feel in-hand.
I love this dinnerware to death, I'll use it for life if I'm lucky.
