From personal experience, I would definitely say the inexpensive line put out by Corelle. I bought service for 8 sixteen years ago, and I still have them all! Boy, am I tired of that pattern.
Between Bisque, Porcelain and Stoneware dishes, Stoneware is the most durable and the reason is because it is fired at a high temperature. Corelle dishes are fine, but be careful when they do break because they break into very tiny splinters that are hard to see until someone walks on them barefooted.

Both are durable, but can chip. Porcelain is a form of stoneware. Both refer to high fire, well vitrified, non-porous ceramic ware, containing quartz or silica, kaolin, and feldspar. The main difference is that porcelain is formulated to be whiter and more translucent, with less iron.
A durability comparison would depend on the exact mixture / brand / kind, but if you had to pick one for a general answer, porcelain may be more durable.
Porcelains like Pillivuyt and Apilco are especially durable, and can even go from a freezer into a hot oven (though this is not recommended use with any stoneware including porcelain).
Stonewares like Emile Henry or Denby usually have a glaze over another colour of base clay, and they tend to chip more easily.
Stoneware. Porcelain is the 2nd hardest man made material after industrial diamonds. If you cut on stoneware with a steel blade it will scratch. The most common cause of scratches on porcelain dinnerware is stacking it--the unglazed base of a porcelain plate will scratch porcelain.
normally they do chip easily but not extremely easily, i mean you could put them in a dishwasher withouth them chipping.
if youre worried about chipping then use plastic plates ;) lol baaddd jk)
ceramics
Porcelain, it is resistant to chips and cracks because it is fired at a higher temperature.
yes
The durability between ceramic and porcelain tiles is that porcelain tires are more dense and are considered more durable and better suited for heavy wear than the ceramic tiles.
Yes, they are more lightweight and I believe more durable as well.
CERAMICS The word ceramic is derived from the Greek word κεραμικός (keramos). The term covers inorganic non-metallic materials which are formed by the action of heat. Up until the 1950s or so, the most important of these were the traditional clays, made into pottery, bricks, tiles and the like, along with cements and glass. Clay-based ceramics are described in the article on pottery. A composite material of ceramic and metal is known as cermet. The word ceramic can be an adjective, and can also be used as a noun to refer to a ceramic material, or a product of ceramic manufacture. Ceramics may also be used as a singular noun referring to the art of making things out of ceramic materials. The technology of manufacturing and usage of ceramic materials is part of the field of ceramic engineering. China The Chinese perfected porcelain by using kaolin, a white clay, mixing it with china stone and firing it at high temperatures. That was in the 10th century and it took another 800 years before true porcelain was developed in Europe. China, in this context, originally refered to a ceramic dinnerware coming out of the country of China which was particularly fine and exceptionally white. It was a standard of quality unknown elsewhere at the time. To answer the question then, China is a ceramic product but of a very fine quality and it should more accurately be called porcelain.

i think ceramic is not easy to burn. incase you have faulty wirings. ceramic may help your safety 100%
porcelain
The durability between ceramic and porcelain tiles is that porcelain tires are more dense and are considered more durable and better suited for heavy wear than the ceramic tiles.
The use of the words porcelain and ceramic to describe tiles is somewhat confusing as most are described as ceramic, then divided between porcelain and non-porcelain. The main differences are that porcelain tiles are denser, smoother and more impervious to moisture, whereas ceramic or non-porcelain tiles are softer. Therefore porcelain tiles are more suitable for areas that get harder wear.
Copper pans are a lot more durable than ceramic pans. However, they are not as durable as steel pans.
Porcelain tiles are fired at a much higher temperature than ceramic tiles. They are more resistant to stains, but they're a little more expensive.
The most common types of floor tiles are ceramic and porcelain. These are more viable solutions than marble and natural stones, which tend to be expensive and fragile. Floor tiles need to be durable and handle the constant foot traffic in entry areas, kitchens, and bathrooms of a house. Porcelain tiles have a relatively high density, which makes them very durable and resistant to cracks and damage. This material is also well known for its moisture resistance, which is important in the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room. Ceramic tiles have similar properties that offer great durability. However, unglazed ceramic tiles have to be covered with sealants to prevent stains and other damage.
Porcelain tiles are generally stronger than ceramic tiles. Porcelain is denser and more durable due to its composition and manufacturing process. It has a lower water absorption rate and is less prone to chipping and cracking, making it a popular choice for high-traffic areas and outdoor applications.
Porcelain is a kind of high fire clay, and is safe and suitable in the oven. Glass meant to be used in the oven is also fired in a kiln and safe. There really isn't much difference between the two dishes and you should get the same results.
Porcelain clay is denser (tinier particles) than ceramic, so it fires harder. It will stand up to abuse better than ceramic, and is generally approved for outdoor installations with freeze/thaw cycles, where ceramic cannot withstand them. Porcelain is generally more expensive than ceramic. That doesn't mean ceramic shouldn't be used - just be wary of installing it in rooms where billiard balls, fireplace logs, or iron frying pans will be bouncing off of it. In my opinion, ceramic is fine for bathrooms where the hardest things to hit it will be plastic hair dryers or shampoo bottles, but in other areas I'd use porcelain. I hate replacing broken tiles.
No. Porcelain is a type of ceramic. if installed correctly with first quality goods neither floor will chip, scrape or crack. All of the price in any type of tile ceramic porcelain or natural stone has completely to do with the labor involved in manufacture. The more labor or steps that are involved in adding color or glaze or sizing, the higher the cost because they have more money invested in that particular tile.
Yes, they are more lightweight and I believe more durable as well.
