Yep, small for platters but great for dinner plates.
I still have 3.

I remember when you said that and I've had a bowl break the same way
since. Damn things just don't break....they explode on the floor and
shards go everywhere. What's with that?

Anyway, I swept the kitchen floor twice, then got down on hands and
knees and using a damp washcloth, I wiped it all down twice. Still some
underneath fridge and stove. Not only that, pieces flew into two rooms
that are carpeted too. (I have two kitchen doorways).

30 some years ago a corelle plate shattered and deep cut to my wife's
ankle. Went to the emergency room where she got 3-4 stitches. These
things must have not plastic explosives but Plate explosives built in.
They are like bombs just waiting to be dropped. huhuh
