I got a set of four dinner plates, four soup/salad bowls, four berry bowls, four teacups, and four saucers, plus one syrup (?...larger than creamer, smaller than pitcher) for $125 ten years ago and it was the best money I've ever spent. They're my everyday dishes, and they're amazingly sturdy. An ex-boyfriend (wonder why he's an ex?) chipped a plate with a careless toss into the sink, and I dropped a berry bowl and it shattered (and cried for a week).<br /><br />I find a gentle scrub with a bit of dish soap and a crocheted-plastic scrubbie takes out the marks if I'm a bit too zealous with the fork while making salad dressing. The utensil marks are typically the metal scraping off on the stoneware rather than vice versa.lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16374445544877048884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-10161475758796880282012-11-08T17:10:26.289-06:002012-11-08T17:10:26.289-06:00Some swear by Bar Keeper's Friend, others say ...Some swear by Bar Keeper's Friend, others say a Magic Eraser will work wonders.

I thought it was pretty (a nice cheerful yellow inside and a pretty sort of atomic flower pattern on the plates). It came with 9 cups, 5 sauces, 4 bread and butter plates, 5 dinner plates, 2 soup bowls, 2 fruit bowls and a creamer. Anyone know much about the Hacienda pattern?
