I've currently got a huge collection of Denby Monsoon Cosmic - literally everything from plates to the teapot to little dipping saucers. However, the stuff that gets used every day (dinner plates etc.) is now getting faded and worn, presumably from going in and out of the dishwasher. And the placemats faded from just being in daylight - not direct sunlight, literally just in a room 
I could just replace the faded bits, but I've had this stuff for years so I'm toying with starting a new set. I don't want anything with a pattern that could fade, as this one has, so can anyone recommend a beautiful but hard wearing range?
(I'm not keen on Denby stoneware, and I'm thinking I should avoid anything too patterned to avoid having the same issue in the near future!)
