Anyone Use Sa (Non-Dots) for Everyday Dishes?

Barkeeper's Friend is also great for taking off the grey use lines on dishes. Those lines can appear on any type of plate, and are actually metal from utensils. The Stainless Cleaner will take them off, too.

I love the SA white, however would love the place setting of the rounds in white. I even so much as sent a suggestion to HO to make place settings in simple white which I think really presents food nicely. I do however hand wash them because my dishwasher has been known to leave rust marks :>(

I use the large squares for dinner, the small for lunch, the dots bowl for pasta, the small square for cereal and ice cream, and now we have the dots cups. They are heavy! As far as expense goes, I priced them against Macy's and they were comparable. I have had some chips, but there were extenuating circumstances. DS had one on the floor and tossed the other one down onto it. They ONLY chipped. You really have to beat up on them. Something that I mention at my shows to show durability is that they don't shatter and I use that example. I also had one fall from the cabinet and it broke only in half. If you have small children, pets, or ever have your shoes off, this is very important.

The small and medium bowls are my favorites and I bought a bunch so that they are regularly used in my house.

I use the dots bowls daily and they are GREAT.

The squares are too heavy and too big for my preference. I would just eat to much if I used them. I use them on occassion and have had several noticable scratches. No chips but unless they have food on them, they look bad. (One is permanent from some sort of knife usage and the other I haven't tried to clean. But really I don't have time to pamper my dishes.)

Use our new stainless cleaner - it works GREAT on SA! No more marks!:sing:

I use the small square bowls and the appetizer plates quite often. I am planning to eventually start using the square plates for every day because my Pier 1, red glass plates keep breaking, one by one. But, I don't like how the square plates fit - or should I say "don't fit"? - into my dishwasher.

Holy cow! I have used SA for the last 4 years at least, not just for every day dishes, but also for catering gigs (large square platter is the bomb for wedding cakes!) It holds so much better than the cheapy wilton plastic dealies. I've been blessed with two very busy and distructive boys. Not a ding. Not a chip. I've thrown away countless other cheaper plates because they just couldn't take the "heat". My DH uses the medium bowl for his late night obsession with fruity and cocoa pebbles. It's much too much cereal for the rest of humanity I am sure! I am happy with the medium rectangles for serving platters on most dinners and the small squares for plates. It does help with portion control! Plus I feel like I'm at a cushy bistro an it makes the food seem more special. Soup in the Small bowls looks so elegent! Love it!! Cried when they stopped the stripes. But, just painted my kitchen a nice green wall to tie everything together. Had an utter obsession with polk-a-dots before the dots came out and nearly passed out when I saw them for the first time. Choirs of angels... It's all good chickie baby! I'm soooo very happy with the SA line!!
