Almost all "everyday" dishes are versatile. They can go from the oven (on warm), to the table, to the refrigerator, to the microwave (to reheat your leftovers) and into the dishwasher, and be none the worse for the wear. The only possible exception is if your dishes have any metallic decorations they usually cannot be placed in the microwave, so check the labeling on the packaging.

EARTHENWARE: Not recommended for use in the microwave or oven. It must be hand washed.
STONEWARE: Typically can be used in the microwave and oven and is usually dishwasher safe.
PORCELAIN: Can be used in the oven. If it does not have metal banding, it can go in the microwave, and is dishwasher safe.
BONE CHINA: May be used in the oven. If it does not have metal banding, it can usually go in the microwave, and is dishwasher safe.
