When I got married we got a set of Royal Doulton dinnerware as a gift from the resort for getting married in Jamaica. And many years later it's still my favorite set of plates, looking its age but it hasn't broken, chipped, and works great in the microwave.

The other stuff we have had over the years from all over is warped, chips, gets hotter than my food in the microwave (despite saying microwave safe, safe I guess just means it won't explode), and is just in general crappy.

So I'd like to get some new stuff, is Royal Doulton the only game? Or are there other brands that have really good quality? I have no clue and am tired of buying stuff that looks nice but ends up being crappy.
