What is your budget?

I don't have one in particular. Spending $40 a plate as per fancy Wedgewood is more than I want or need. $20 a plate would be fine.

Go on Mary Mahoney and browse some of the patterns. I like companies like Juliska and Motahedeh, personally, especially the former's bamboo pattern and the latter's version of Blue Canton. Sometimes you can find these for sale in your range. Vintage sets also look like a good deal at first but some of them will leach lead. Create a few ebay or etsy alerts for things you like and collect. Be advised a lot of formerly respected brands like Georg Jensen now make all their home goods in China yet still charge middle-high prices, so look carefully.

Thanks. I am most interested in which brands have a higher percent bone ash. These will be everyday dinnerware so material and strength is more important than pattern

The vast majority won't disclose, unfortunately.
