I'm thinking something like this pattern... though I haven't gotten B's feedback on it yet. I love that it has the swirly, curly handles, but yet the rest of the design is elegant. AND, best yet, the price per set is on sale: $39.99 for 5-piece setting. I'd heard from someone that if you make the price much higher (analyzing your group of friends, their income, their student loans, etc etc etc), you may not get all the settings you want. I think this is most doable. And, there are other items that we can also request so we have the full set (platters, sugar bowl, etc etc). Must talk to B...
Here's the item's description:
"Bright fine china is simply adorned with a band of platinum for an unforgettably elegant table. The Cameo Platinum design is perfect for formal dinners, teas, and luncheons. The wide rims and flowing lines add graceful touches to any table."

that is a gorgeous pattern. pretty close to perfect imho. mil has this gorgeous china that i hope to become the recipient of one day, simple narrow black band around the lip with a platinum edge.
ReplyDeletewe did not register for china. i figured a) if we registered for china AND dishes people might get us one or the other and then we would be left with half a set of each and that would be annoying. and b) neither one of us are "china" people and i don't know when we would use it other than holidays or special occasions. so we got a pretty porcelain "everyday" set that we use for everything. this palazzo pattern from crate & barrel, unfortunately discontinued.
then just this thanksgiving, mil dug out an old china set that her mother had purchased and never used. literally still in the boxes. so she gave it to us, so now we have our own china set.
