My fiance and I are registering for dinnerware and I right away knew I wanted Corell’s chip/break resistant products, which are apparently glass… The guy helping us register at Bed Bath and Beyond is telling us to consider bone china. Im just wondering which is best. Thanks!

Bone china is very expensive, fragile and actually made of finely powdered bones. Although I didn’t buy it in 1966 I did buy “fine” china and I think I may have used it 3 times - max!
Consider your lifestyle & expenses. How often will you be giving “elegant” dinners? I love my practical, and attractive, dinnerware. If I break something it doesn’t cost me and arm and a leg to replace it. When I have company, I am complimented on the appearance of my table. I’m not necessarily recommending my brand of dinnerware (Mikasa), altho I love it, but I’ve had it for years and years and have only had to replace one plate. I do recommend buying an established brand and line of dinnerware since you can also add to it over the years if you want to do so.

Negative, I work at BBB. and Bone China is the strongest most Durable. A Cup can support at 300 pound man’s body weight- saw it with my very own eyes! Bone china can me microwaved and dishwashed, as long as there is no aluminum lining on it. Also, china is starting to come in more contemporary patterns so..he is right by asking you to consider china.
