No I have never used my wedding china. I have been thinking about trying to sell it. It is antique now.
|
YES! Love to use it for special occasions. I could never live in a house without a formal dining room.
|
I just have everyday dishes but now that I am working at Bennington Potters, (they make their own pottery) I am inclined to start buying pieces. :thumbup:
|
I have my mother's Spode "Buttercup" and use it for special occasions. I gave my Royal Doulton to my daughter and my Lenox to my son. I also have Syracuse "windswept" that I use every day and Hadley pottery I use a lot. Christmas I use English Staffordshire plates and I use "Green Leaf" by Wedgwood for St.Patrick's Day. Guess you can tell I love to set the table!
|
I use it everyday and my silver. For lunch and breakfast I have other dishes. - J

Sold sets I had (family did not want) and now use only Fiestaware - love the various colors together - makes us happy to see it in our plate rack each day, and to use it each day. Would share picture but don't know how.
|
I have Lenox china that I received as a wedding gift 40 years ago and I use it whenever there are more than 3 people for a meal. Why save it. Everyday I use Fiesta Ware . which I really love but the minute anyone comes I pull out the china.

After a good long thought, I brought it out and taught the kids how to eat correctly. Not to say we never used paper plates sometimes, but they do know how to eat correctly. And they didn't break many pieces of the set, not as many as I did myself! I gave my MIL good stuff to my kiddies and I'm NOT saving mine for "the next wife". I'm going to use it and enjoy it. Just like I'm going to spend all the money before I go. LQS here I come!!! Happy Quilting, Kathy |
I only use china for C'mas dinner and am thinking of selling it. However, mine isn't very old and doesn't have any sentimental value. I'm sure my sons and their wives won't want it when I'm gone. Most estate sales I go to have beautiful sets of china, but not many buyers.

I have a repro Blue Willow set that I use every day. I also have my Grandmother's set that I have always loved. I use that occassionally.
I also have my Grandmother's avocado-green melmac set. I haven't pulled that one out yet, but I will use that more towards this next summer. (or sooner if I feel like it) |
