26. Sorry to hear you lost a piece of Corelle. It doesn't shatter terribly easily -- I've had

some pieces fall, or have objects dropped on them, without breaking -- but when it does shatter, it's amazing how much it shatters.

Sorry to hear you lost that salad, too. The shards are also difficult to get out of carpet if, say, a cup or saucer hits the edge of a table on the way to the floor.

I still have two Corelle sets from the '80s that I love, Old Town Blue and Blue Lily. And lots of Pyrex cookware in the Forest Fancies pattern, 8 bowls and casserole dishes in different shapes and sizes. All very useful and easy to clean, still looking great after all these years.
