I had a similar experience with a supposedly unbreakable sort of
dishes... Duralex??? The were glass like sets of plates bowls and cups.
I broke one at a friend's place. It fell out of the cupboard, bounced
off the door onto another shelf, them onto the counter, then to the open
door of the dishwasher, then hit the floor, bounced once or twice and
then it shattered into a thousand little pieces.
