NEVER have anything but---Doulton Chatsworth for kitchen/breakfast and lunch; Minton Haddon Hall for dinner, do have Doulton Carlisle /Spode fleur de lys gold and blue and R Albert Lady Carlisle and altho have full services of all have to wash the latter up as gold not good in dishwasher.
Could NEVER use pot or for mugs either, they are awful looking in the main and crack and chip easier.
If you have R A country roses and will use them then do collect ,but get a full service ,there is nothing worse than ill matching china unless a harlequin set.
