I too am a fan of Corningware. The shapes and weights suit me. It practically defines the concept of a bowl for me.

But I note you said "borderline indestructible". Not just "indestructible".

Which means I have found a fellow victim of ceramic shard explosion! They take a beating, but when they go, they go big!

True story: My Aunt: "These are unbreakable" My Dad: "They look nice" My Aunt: "watch this" yeeets a casserole dish on the floor... It was quite the mess.

The tea cups for me are hit or miss if they will survive. I think it has to do with the shape. Everything else is very tough.
