Title: Does not stand up to normal use
Product review: I have had this dinnerware since 2003, when I registered for it for my wedding. I have had a terrible experience with the pieces, appearing "scratched" with normal use. The "scratches" are actually deposits left by my flatware. I contacted Pfaltzgraf, and they told me I could use a ceramic cleaner to remove the marks. This did work; however, the next time my flatware (knives, fork tines) came in contact with the piece, the gray marks were there again. (They do not come out in the dishwasher). I was told the marks are due to the high quality flatware (a certain percentage of silver/softness); however, I have never had this issue with other dinnerware. I am going to have to replace the entire set, because it irritates me every time I pull out a marred dish. Now, aside from the gray marks, the actual integrity of the ceramic seems to be deteriorating, and there are small brown stains that will not come out with the ceramic cleaner. I'm very frustrated with the product.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
