Porcelain sets from Gibson
I really like the porcelain dinnerware sets that are made available by Gibson. They are very practical and timeless. Their patterns are always changing to keep up with the trends, so they can even serve as a bit of a time capsule to the period they were made in. There are many discontinued patterns, but you can always count on new patterns being introduced.

Easy to care for, too
Another plus? These dishes are simple to care for. Most of their sets are ideal for everyday use, although some of the patterns do require special care.
Casual dinnerware sets are most likely microwave and dishwasher-safe, and some of the patterns are even oven-proof. Plastic and melamine dishes are usually not safe for use in the microwave.
If a pattern has metallic trim, it is best to hand wash it as using these elite patterns in the microwave is not a good idea. Dishwasher use is likely to fade the pattern and wear off the metallic trim.
It is highly recommended that you follow the dinnerware care tips that accompany each dinnerware set to be sure that you use it and care for it correctly. Following this advice assure safety, of course, as well as aiding in keeping your dinnerware looking good for the long term.

What serving pieces go well with Gibson Everyday Dinnerware?
Because this dinnerware is casual, I would have to say that any serving pieces that coordinate with the pattern would be appropriate.
Most fine China dinnerware manufacturers and some casual dinnerware sets have matching accessories available to depict the pattern of the dinnerware. Many casual sets do not. This means you can choose your accessories.
The best advice for choosing the accessories to accompany your everyday dinnerware is to look for practical serving dishes to go along with your decorating style that coordinates with the dinnerware dishes. Depending on your taste in décor and the color of your dinnerware set, you may find that pottery serving accessories look nice, or you might up the scale of elegance by using depression glass dishes or crystal serving bowls and platters.
Wooden or bamboo serving sets might fit into your theme or simple ceramic serving accessories might do the trick. Once you come up with a plan for the style and ambiance that you wish to create, choosing serving accessories becomes easy.
