I hope you enjoy it
Aha no just quite normal I’m sure!I’m Dream Girl and I have some cut glass glasses but I never wash them either in a dishwasher or by hand, cause they never venture out the cupboard.
As for my teaspoons I do have stainless steel ones that get washed in the dishwasher but my silver ones don’t get washed at all cause they are stuck in the wooden box from when they were a wedding present, over 25 years ago.
Does it make me a bad person???
Eh no they are still all individually covered and we haven’t used our china dinner service either that’s still boxed up too.Aha no just quite normal I’m sure!
But have you never used the spoons in the wooden box in 25 years?!
Oh what a shame but do realise they are a big pain to clean!
Oh no!Eh no they are still all individually covered and we haven’t used our china dinner service either that’s still boxed up too.
It’s not I don’t like it it’s just so chintz I guess I’m much more plain white large square plates. I‘m looking forward to putting out some new table linen, runner, fancy mats and coasters plus an arrangement to make for down the centre, I’ve just ordered. So the dinner service will remain boxed and the wooden canteen closed.Oh no!
Do you not like your dinner service?!
Could it not have a little Christmas outing?!
My folks got married early 70’s and their wedding cutlery - not silver just v good quality - still comes out for guests or high days and holidays and still looks amazing!
And their dinner service was Wedgwood Blue Pacific and used to come out only rarely...
But about ten years ago dad and I found someone selling a huge lot of it locally on eBay, so we bought it as a surprise for mum.
She now uses it a lot of the time (less worried about breaking it etc!) and it’s really back in fashion (teal edging with mottled beige centre).
I love it!
Is very similar to the Denby I collect - using my clubcard points in the sales!
You are in good company with the plain white, very classy looking.My daughter loves the white square crockery too. I like it, very minimal and nothing clashes with the food on the plate. Also like you say, you can add detail in table accessories, linens and floral arrangements.It’s not I don’t like it it’s just so chintz I guess I’m much more plain white large square plates.

Yes well I do really like your Petite Fleur, especially the lidded items such as the tureens.You are in good company with the plain white, very classy looking.My daughter loves the white square crockery too.

However, I am a super mad chintz fan, there, I'm out and I'm proud! My everyday service is Villeroy & Boch in Petite Fleur pattern and my special occasion service is Noritake Fragrance pattern. The latter was a right place, right time opportunity. I really love it and it was dirt cheap. I am never usually in the RPRT and pick up tat on impulse, to my shame. We went to a carboot sale and a lady had a van full of it (and a ton of dodgy clothes & dvd's, hmmm), over 140 pieces and she said £50 the lot, she just didn't like it and it had been bequeathed to her. It is all perfect, nothing damaged and I couldn't take her arm off quick enough. I remember Paul groaning and muttering to himself as he was puting the back seats down and carting boxes and boxes of it away! We had an escort estate and it filled the entire back. I only use it on high days and holidays as it has a gold rim, so you can't microwave it and I wouldn't trust the dishwasher. My daughter hates it The Villeroy was a gift from Paul, china for 20th anniversary and we have used it now for 14 years, still going strong and bullet proof. Lucie hates that one too!
Ahh obviously good taste!TL Lou I was married in 1971 and Blue Pacific was my choice and I have 2 canteens in wooden boxes.
I had to google both of your China services and I have to say I LOVE the Petite Fleur - so pretty!You are in good company with the plain white, very classy looking.My daughter loves the white square crockery too.
