Do these get the gray scratches like other stoneware?

I don't think so because they are porcelain not stoneware. I bought them for that reason.

I've had my set for a couple of months and I haven't noticed any scratches as of yet. They still look great. Don't know if this will help you in your decision making process.

There was nothing that came with the glasses that mentioned them having a scratch resistant coating. I've had mine since Nov 2013 and use them for yard work. When not in use they're in their bag. They don't have any scratches yet, but I take care of them so as not to get scratches. They darken, but only to a gray coloration. I read that weather affects them; hot weather lessens the darkening and cool weather allows them to get darker. If you're in Phoenix in the summer, you'd probably want something else for sunglasses.

yes. you do have to make sure you are doing everything correctly and consistently. it takes a lot to get the scratches from the prior stone out. if things are not consistent, you'll have mirror edges and a dull blade.

I think they are lighter than most stoneware on the market. We have been very happy with these so far. Very durable and no problems in the dish washer.

The cobalt blue scratches VERY easily. Mine have been barely used during the 3 weeks that I have owned them & they are absolutely covered in scratches. It's such a shame, because they are otherwise beautiful dishes.

I've been using them for a month and I don't see a single scratch mark from silverware. I use 18/10 flatware though. Perhaps the softer flatware would make marks.

All I can tell you is that there are no scratches on the fixtures when I use the EarthStone. From my experience, pumice stones don't remove stains, etc. without leaving behind some damage. This product is much softer.

I had FiestaWare for 20 years and spent my life removing metal marks. These are a dream to care for in comparison. I've had them about a year and haven't noticed one metal mark on them. Buy with no worries.

It does scratch some, nothing really bad. It comes with grates and I keep them in. I do wish I had gone for the single sink, because large pots fit but they can be snug and that is what causes my scratches.

I've had mine for over a year and I do not see any scratches on them. I don't have small children so I don't know if that would be an issue or not. I hope that helps!

I have the black ones. They are stoneware. I ordered from Amazon, and was extremely disappointed that they were not bone china. That said, a million trips through the dishwasher, and they still look brand new. Well made, but NOT bone china.

I have the same problem i would buy a light gray depending on how bad your scratches are. Mine are so bad i need the gray but you may not.

Mine don't scratch easily. However I've purchased used pieces that that were covered with knife/silverware marks. They come off surprisingly well by scrubbing with Barkeeper's Friend or Bon Ami (I prefer Barkeeper's Friend). Both of these products are sold by Amazon.

Yes these are durable!! At first I was worried because they sound delicate compared to the stoneware we had but I am very pleased with hiw durable they are! Always put them I the dishwasher and no problems. I love them!!

I just got mine a month or so ago. They seem pretty stout after the regular use they receive. Have not had any issues. I have Granite counters and use the dishwasher regularly and have had no fading or chipping.

Hi! I have not noticed any scratches on my sink, although it is not a very new one. And I have looked for the "metal feet" and they do not look like metal to me. I am very happy with them, event though I would have liked it they were a little less flexible. But so far, so good!
