Fun fact of the day on dinnerware [all of this registry fun is getting me super knowledgeable =)] Bone china: The most expensive of the dinnerware options, bone china is also the most sophisticated. Made from a blend of bone ash and porcelain, bone china is lightweight yet durable (it’s usually safe for the dishwasher and, if it has no metal banding, safe for the microwave too). Bone china’s milky-white color is the perfect backdrop for elegant china patterns or classic metallic rims. Porcelain: Similar to bone china and equally as elegant, porcelain dinnerware has more of a sheen and is often decorated with gold or platinum bands. Casual dinnerware: Stoneware: Casual dinnerware made of hearty ceramic stoneware is usually microwave and dishwasher safe, and perfect for everyday use. Stoneware comes in a variety of styles and patterns, from feminine to bold, and it’s sometimes glazed for added shine. And if you’re shopping for discounted dinnerware, stoneware is less expensive than porcelain and china. Made of natural ceramic, earthenware dinnerware sets are some of the most popular. Earthenware: If you’re looking for durable casual dinnerware perfect for everyday meals, earthenware is a good material for you. Made from one of the oldest materials in the world, natural ceramic earthenware dinnerware sets are some of the most popular. Fully glazed earthenware is dishwasher safe.
