What is the most durable dinnerware for everyday use?
Bone china is the most durable dinnerware, due to the bone ash used in its manufacture. However, it is also the most expensive. The best bone china dinnerware sets may also have delicate patterns and decals that make them less suitable for the dishwasher.
These are a couple of reasons bone china isn't widely popular for everyday use, despite its durability. Many people prefer other types of durable ceramics for everyday use, such as stoneware.
'Ceramic is an excellent material for dinnerware because of its quality heat retention, versatility, and aesthetics,' says Shiza Shahid, Co-Founder of Our Place.
'Stoneware is the best kind of ceramic because it is fired at a much higher temperature, making it even more durable.'
