Anybody picky about Dinnerware also? *calling Somewhereintime*

BiscottiGelato

As topic. I just want to buy a set of dinnerware which I can use forever and good for almost any occasional. And ideally, if any gets broken or if I want to add more pieces, replacement/additions can easily be found.
Bone China? Fine China? Regular China? Porcelain? What are their differences?

I know the big brands are like Mikasa, Noritake, Lennox and the like... How about the following 2? Red Vanilla, which from research seems to be a spin-off from Mikasa? And Fortessa? Seems to usually serve the restaurant industry? Any experience or comment on them for home use?

Somewhereintime is in the culinary business? Any familiarity with Fortessa products? What the heck is their Vitrified China?

I went to Puddyfoot. Stuff in there is pricey! Nikko stuff are nice but VERY pricey. The Revol stuff's better. But for that kinda pricing I might as well order Fortessa online? I think they are similar restaurant quality stuff?

Do Puddyfoot's wholesale division sell to individuals?

I searched Dobson online but couldn't find anything.
