Have only broken 1 or 2 things in 10 years of using them daily, and having moved five times (no exaggeration). I have many pieces of Zeisel T&C by Redwing, and I enjoy using my Zeisel T&C sugar bowl to sweeten my latte every morning, but the stuff is just too darned fragile to use on a daily basis. I also have a few beloved pieces of Bauer -- all of my mixing bowls are Bauer, from the 1930s GPK (for "Gloss Pastel Kitchenware " line. I do use new glassware, though; a set of French bistro glasses -- but only because I can't afford to buy any of the Russel Wright pinch glasses I grew up with!
