Our plates and bowls are a disgrace.. had them years.
I'd really like a new lot (for 6).. in bright colours as I'm bored of white, but I'm struggling to find anything cheerful that isn't either old fashioned flower patterns or plain grey shades.
I've seen some on Amazon but am not confident they'd arrive intact given our driver's habit of chucking stuff in the recycling bin.
Matching mugs would be a bonus!

I came onto say Denby, but not sure they do the colours you're after.

We're still using ours after 20 years and not a chip or crack! So although initially pricey, they've paid for themselves time and again.

Denby, I get ours with Tesco vouchers and buy different colours so it's all mis matched. They do beautiful colours now.

I had the same a few years ago, so bored of white. Had a look at everything and was happy to spend. In the end food just looked funny on anything that wasn’t white ! I bought the white glass plates from ikea in stacks (cheap, thin, light, always looks smart, stacks beautifully in the dishwasher and shelf) and spent ££££ and more £££ on proper cutlery, serving ware and steak knives.

Sainsburys have loads, I chose some I really liked there a few weeks ago - but I wanted a leafy pattern, so might not have your choice. John Lewis have loads too, and so do many charity shops

I found denby really heavy though…

IKEA?
Visit some department stores for ideas.
Advertise for something on Facebook Buy & Sell?
Charity shops sometimes have complete dinner sets. If incomplete look on eBsy for matching items to supplement?
