Which new dinner service should I buy?

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 Hmm

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!)

There was a thread recently about Denby not fitting in someone’s dishwasher and a few people recommended Gordon Ramsay’s Maze dinner set.
They do sell them on Amazon but I want to go and see them in Dunelm before I buy them so I can see how they feel and see the actual sizes.

Appreciate it’s not answering the q but FYI you can get Denby vouchers with Clubcard vouchers (assuming nothing has changed over the years). I got a whole dinner service for very cheap.

Thank you @Everythingiswonderful - I'll have a look at Maze.

Ooooo that could be useful, @FinallyGotAnIPhone - thank you!

Maze is nice - very simple, and no pattern to fade. I like it Grin

We have Maze and it's been brilliant.

I'm eyeing up Royal Doultan Splash.

I have pasta bowls that I got fr TK Maxx a few years ago, and they're really robust even though I think they're seconds. Would love the whole set.

I'm a huge fan of the M&S Maxim range. Seems to survive the dishwasher well, and easy to buy some of the 'basics' sets and then add to it.
