Melamine crockery is another option and they have some plain designs that might suit better here [link]

I have found Luminarc products very good, and they have had it in stock at makro at very competitive prices.

I don't think any of this ware is actually 'unbreakable' though - just more resistant.

If you like the look of Luminarc, it is cheap enough to consider buying more than you need so that you always have replacements to hand - it comes in sets and separates.

Hi posset - thanks from me too for the link. Have had a quick look but their pattern range is not to my taste unfortunately. Think I'll continue to do the same as you - buying more place settings than necessary on the basis that some are bound to get broken in everyday use.

Hi, posset -

Have "googled" your link and, yes, that is the crockery to which I was referring.

Thank you so much for taking the trouble to reply.

I thnk the plates you might be looking for are supplied by this company:

They widely available by mail order, Amazon has some, I noticed.

Re your new kitchen Mrs WoofWoof and unforgiving surfaces, I have slate and granite to contend with. I buy plates/dishes in 10's, so I am not too concerned if I do some kitchen juggling and fail. When I get past the remaining 8 I get annoyed though!

Good morning or should I say "Woof, Woof" ...

The advert did indeed show the plate bouncing off the floor and would seem really suitable for your new kitchen.

Hopefully, someone will come to our rescue with a reply.

Oooh, I'd be interested in this too. Having a new kitchen fitted at the mo - the floor is slate and the worktops are granite so there are no forgiving surfaces if I drop anything It will look so nice though when it's done
