  Latte Cups with Saucers made in the USA?

  If the right look is super important, then these are pretty identical and a solid brand. Currently 65% off too woo! https://www.macys.com/shop/product/villeroy-boch-new-moon-coffee-cup They are not USA made though. - German For USA made large latte cups, try and find the now discontinued fiesta jumbo latte bowl which is super solid. There are quite a few floating around eBay / Etsy etc

  What BIFL items would you add to your wedding registry?

  Quality stainless steel - all clad, demeyere, hestan or others. Quality kitchen knives, too many brands and options to be specific, it'll depend on you Flatware set Place settings (bowls, plates etc). We went with Villeroy & Boch but there's many good options Crystal glassware if you're into that Others already mentioned cast iron (raw and enameled) and carbon steel. Sorry it's all kitchen stuff but we love cooking so most of the registry was kitchen related. We did have some bedsheets and other items on there but I really do feel registry items should be *lifetime* BIFL not just quality.

  Does anyone know of a durable dinnerware collection that covers all dining and kitchen accessories?

  My Villeroy and Boch dishes we use daily are still going strong 15 years and counting and still look new! My set is Switch 3 (Cordoba, Castell, Country). I don't have the entire collection but these designs can mix and match and I have dinner plates, rice bowls, salad bowls, dessert plates, cups, saucers, coffee/tea pot, S&P, cream & sugar, gravy, rectangular casserole, oval casserole, round serving, soup tureen, tea kettle, cannisters, serving platters and napkins. I don't have the rest of the items but I know there's napkin rings, tea glasses, pasta containers, a couple of kinds of sauce pans with lids, tablecloth, souffle cups etc. Real quality.

  Is there an Silverware equivalent to Corelle

  Flatware is about how it feels in your hand, the balance, the weight, the thickness, the shapes, the angles. It’s very personal. Basically any 18/10 SS set will be BIFL but if you choose blindly it may well be Hate It For Life.  This is shopping that should not be done online. Go and fondle all the cutlery. Balance it on the edge of a bowl—some spoons will flip out, causing a huge mess when the bowl is full of cereal milk or soup.  If you’ve got a partner you’ll both need to go, as if you’ve got vastly different sized hands you need to find a comfy fit for you both, or buy a set that has both appetiser and entree forks & knives.  Brands that I personally enjoy the feel of: TableKraft, Villeroy and Boch, Oneida.

  Dinnerware: Corelle or Luminarc?

  I don’t know what y’all are doing with your dishware but proper porcelain or bone china last for ages, haven’t had to replace anything in twenty years. Go to any of the German brands like Villeroy & Boch, Meissen, or Rosenthal and be done with it. They all have plain white economic offers that aren’t hand painted and on par price wise with Luminarc and Corelli
