My china is EMPRESS COBALT by Aynsley


My sterling is English Chippendale by Reed & Barton


My everyday dishes are Villeroy & Bosch's French Garden:


We have two crystal patterns: Waterford's Kildare:


....and Waterford's Ashbourne:



I am looking for a new everyday flatware pattern -- we are STILL using the flatware Mr GPhiBLtCol had before we were married...it's "okay"

We did not register for China (my mother is still having a stroke)...I hope to inherit her Noritake pattern.
But here is one of my favorites

Here's the China I hope to eventually get. (Maybe I'll marry someone who doesn't care about the china pattern. lol)

http://www.wedgwood.com/portfolio/pa...stial+Platinum

This is the stemware I like.

http://www.waterford.com/shop/collec...sp?id=53&cat=W

The Flatware I have is all done and finished. My grandmother starts it for us when we turn sixteen. (All the girls in the family) and we had to finish mine out because it was being discountinued. It's Oneida, and it was called wave or beach or something like that. They don't even have it under discontinued items on the website. It was really plain though, I loved it. I don't like really frilly tableware. I have a nice chest it goes in too.

I also really like this stemware.

I have to show my fiance this china pattern:

http://www.wedgwood.com/wedgwood/pat...re&subsection=

It's Wedgwood's Guinevere pattern. I think it's really pretty and classy.

I like Noritake's Paris crystal.

I haven't decided on a silver pattern yet. Eeps!

I like this Mikasa pattern for everyday - the Tender Bloom pattern.

http://www.mikasa.com/webapp/commerc...hop=dinnerware

For everyday silver, I like Mikasa's Satin:

My China is Classic Edition by Lenox (discontinued)



Silver is Strasbourg by Gorham. It is also my Mother's, not sure if it is my favorite though. Chose it because I will inherit the rest...



Crystal is Lismore by Waterford



Everyday is Arabella by Mikasa, sorry couldn't get the image to come up...

Don't know if you ran across this site in your search, but just in case there's something else you're missing, here's a website for a place located in Greensboro, NC that may have anything (china, silverware) that you're looking for. I've driven by here and it's HUGE!

replacements.com

Here's mine

Mom wants me to inherit her china. In the mean time, there is NO room to store any other kitchen/diningware!!!

"Windsong" by Lenox (discontinued 1994)
http://www.replacements.com/webquote...304S0001T2.jpg

Don't remember the name of the crystal, but it is extremely unique: instead of the traditional deep-cut style a la Baccarat, etc, it has a very fine, lacy, flowery design.

Ooh! I love the Waterford Lismore

FI's mom and dad gave us a set of waterford toasting glasses for our engagement:



The heart shaped swan heads aren't quite our style. Thankfully FI's dad asked if we liked them and he gently broke it to them that we'd already picked out a set:



So I think they're going to take back the hated swan glasses and get us our Tiffany's glasses - AND ours are $50 cheaper

Thank you GPhiBLtColonel. I just wish it hadn't been discontinued as I only have 6 place settings and no serving pieces...

Naturally, this is an interesting topic to me, since shiny things are like crack for me. When I finally decide to tie the knot, I have decided that I want:

Lenox Federal Cobalt Platinum


and of course, Reed & Barton Francis I.



I'm also kinda partial to Gorham Camellia:



Discuss further! I like hearing about priddies.

China and silver? Hell, I don't know.

How are old are we? 90?
