Lenox Federal if you were to pick out your fine china again would...?
if you were to pick out your fine china again, would you select the same pattern? have your tastes changed? would you select a different pattern and why? do you use your fine china at all?
i'm really weird and use my fine china all the time. 15 years ago i chose lenox federal cobalt http://www.lenox.com/cat/index.cfm?fuseaction=prod&pid=9809&kf=e1000&pagenum=1. now i would choose lenox federal plain http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=14700&PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results or wedgwood nantucket basket http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=20183&PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results. the blue becomes tiresome.
i like this one too
I never picked out any 'fine china'....as long as the dishes are pretty, match each other with no damage, and suit my purpose I can't see wasting good money on some expensive buy per setting bunch of plates....
I like simple....I have a full service for 16 in the Tea Rose Pfaltzgraff pattern including matching serving dishes, platters, canisters, spoon rest, sugar & creamer, gravy boat, utensil crock, butter dish, etc with matching pale pink glassware.......
I have a vintage McCoy set for eight including serving dishes, canisters, cookie jar, yada yada in
deep glazed brown with a cream 'drip' edging....and restaurant style 'jelly jar style glassware.Or I use my colbalt blue glassware.
I have a vintage everday set in enamel splatterwear on metal ) in blue and red...with accessories including a coffee 'boiler' (think Little House on the Prarie grannyware) I use my heavy cobalt blue glassware set with them.
And I have a set of red banded white Corningware for everyday that go well with my retro kitchen and it's coca-cola collectables since my granny ware is enamel over metal and can NOT be used in the microwave.....and of course two sets of coca-cola glassware (1/2 with handles, 1/2 without)....
I love my sets....the first two I use for Holidays, completely changing out the pieces on display when called for...my grannyware & corning ware are for kitchen/casual use...
oh, there's the set for pinics/deck...good quality melamine in white & grass green with heavy matching frosted plastic glassware and 'silverware' in bright grass green.
The Corningware is new..the other pieces I have had for many, many years and have slowly added to the collection, especially the vintage McCoy set....and the grannyware. You need to hit flea markets and 'antique' malls for those pieces if you want authentic however I have used Mark's Treasure chest
on line because he is very reliable with quality and his prices are good.....
My table I am never bored with I get compliments all the time and I never spend a small fortune on any of it.......I prefer casual entertaining..I save the formal for going 'out' to events, weddings, etc....
If I ever decide to collect more, I will look to vintage Fiesta ware...would look great with my vintage milkglass collection (Fenton, mostly)
