As an avid host and a keen cook, I've learnt that the best dinnerware sets aren't necessarily the ones you keep for your most extravagant parties. In fact, when I started brainstorming fall table decor ideas, I knew I needed to find dinnerware that's truly practical – while still looking chic, of course. Corelle's seaside-inspired Portofino dinnerware set, which on sale at Amazon right now is just the thing.
Corelle really is the gold standard when it comes to durability. Crafted from a near-shatterproof, triple-layer glass material known as Vitrelle, Corelle's dinnerware is renowned for its strength and sleek style. Whether you're rustling up a quick meal for one or you're hosting a crowd, these are pieces that you'll reach for time and again.
If a vision of plain white plates springs to mind when you think of reliable tableware, I don't blame you – but Corelle proves that practicality doesn't have to be boring. What I love about Corelle's Portofino dinnerware set, in fact, is its delicate floral design. Think coastal hues crossed with the charm of Nancy Meyers-inspired tableware; you'd never believe these pieces are nearly unbreakable.
This particular set includes bowls, appetizer plates, and dinner plates, with service for up to six guests. The appetizer plates are the most intricate, featuring an elaborate Mediterranean-style design, while the dinner plates and bowls offer a more understated look. The pieces are perfect for layering, but you can also mix and match – I'd go for Corelle's provincial blue platter and some colored glassware for a vibrant, sunny scheme.
With its ocean hues and delicate designs, Corelle's Portofino dinnerware is guaranteed to bring a breath of fresh air to your table. It's exactly the kind of classic set I've been looking for, striking the perfect balance between everyday use and elevated style.
And while it might be almost December, I'll definitely be channelling seaside style this holiday season. The blue shades would pair perfectly with festive red linens, but if you want to try out one of the biggest holiday decor themes for Christmas this year, go for an unexpected color palette: I'm planning to pair my Corelle pieces with deep amethyst accents and gold flatware at my next party.
