gorgeous...
Unfortuantely, I registered for a set of Mud dishes and found that the paint started to chip after 2 meals! We rarely use our Mud wear, yet nearly every plate is chipped. We were told by the retailer that the dishes were very sturdy and dishwasher safe. We've had them for 4 years and wash them by hand only and yet they look like we've tossed them around the room. I am very disappointed with Mud. We tried to have our dishes replaced through the retailer to no avail and when I contacted Mud directly they told me that since they were 4 years old all they could do was offer me 10% off retail price on replacement. Booo!

eva,
i am so surprised to hear that! i have a set of mud dishes and thought that they were going to be so delicate and hard to care for but I use my dishes everyday and wash them in the dishwasher all the time. i wonder if there was something wrong with the batch you bought.
Hi there, Just reading the first post about the chipped Mud ware. My thoughts are you may have the "Eggshell" range they brought out a few years ago. They have since changed their glazes and the Mudware is manufactured differently now. I have bought quite a bit of their new range which is a matte finish on the outside and a shiny glaze on the inside. I have found this to be quite hardy and a hell of a lot more chip resistant than the Eggshell range. (I chipped a serving platter from the Eggshell range the first time I washed it). We use our newer plates for everyday serving and have had no chips at all. We have serving platters, bowls and plates. Hope this helps!
