Everyone’s got to eat. But dishes that are a perfect match with your life style can turn your experience from a daily necessity to a special treat.
 Once reserved for only special occasions, owners of fine china are discovering that more frequent use of these settings is not just a luxury - - It’s a lift!!
How much? 8 place settings are not going to be enough for the holidays. Register for 12 plus and no less. Think ahead…
Always register for a “completer set” This typically includes a vegetable bowl, platter, creamer and covered sugar bowl.
If you’re not sure about your color scheme yet – go with white or ivory dishes. You can always add color (and change colors) with interesting accessories, candles, flowers, and table linens.
Don’t limit yourselves to just a single look. So many patterns will mix and match beautifully adding even more interest to your table.
China should not be perceived as something formal and delicate, that should only be used on formal occasions, Porcelain and bone china are by far the strongest materials available in dinnerware. Enjoy it all the time!
