Temptations let down

KG60 — Mon, 23 Oct 2023 03:33:42 GMT

We started collecting Temptations in the woodland taupe. After buying lots of it, we now watch the Temptations presentations and wish we could order! Because almost nothing is made in the woodland taupe now!! But tonight, there is a NEW color...green! Why is the taupe being shut down? You might have told us that that color was going to be limited and we might have chosen some other color! Very, very disappointing after hundreds of dollars spent. Never again. Those of you rushing to buy the new green beware, unless you don't mind mismatched items. Thanks a bunch, Tara.

Several years ago, I started collecting the floral lace in cobalt blue with brown trim......now they don't make it with the brown trim which is what caught my eye in the first place....plus I have lots of streaks on the inside and outside on some of the bakeware (was told it was internal cracks)....I'm also done with Temptations for this reason.....

Have you tried eBay or Etsy for pieces?

Wait till one explodes in your oven then you'll really be unhappy.

This is common for patterns to be discontinued. It is done with shoes, appliances, bakeware, etc. Be careful what you wish for.....

I don't know if anyone here is familiar with the Henn collection. It was made in Ohio, double fired, etc. I began collecting these in the cranberry color. Well, they went out of business before I was done getting all my dishes. About 5 years ago my husband got really excited, he had a birthday surprise for me and told me not to go in the garage. I thought it was a treadmill. I walked out and the entire, 2 car garage, was covered with 300 pieces of Henn. I was shocked. Someone locally was getting rid of it and he got a great deal. Now I have enough pieces to give each of my children a serving set of 12, plus extras.

Then, he started buying pieces off Ebay. I told him to stop, I have enough.

Anyway, @KG60 , try Ebay.

Sales were probably low and didn't make sense to continue to produce. I think white and gray are always going to be around - those seem to be the popular colors. Maybe buy pieces in another coordinating color? I have white Mikasa everyday dinnerware but also use my mom's collection of Harker pottery small plates and bowls. It will still look good if everything doesn't match exactly!

Nice reply. The OP never stated it was a first world problem.

Try E-bay....34 listings in Temptations Woodland Taupe just a quick look...

You can buy with your credit card if you see what you like. Many items for sale on Ebay are brand new and you do NOT have to bid on them (in case you may never have shopped on E-bay...!)

Check it out. I buy new (and used) things on Ebay ALL the time and have never been disappointed....!

A LOT of QVC's items can be found on E-bay...from ALL categories!

The horror Temptations stories............the reason I've never bought and never will buy Temptations!

Thank you for that. I was going to comment on the "world problem" remark, but decided to take the high road. 😉

I must be weird. I like different colors of ceramics together. I like OW spice but seems to be discontinued too and just bought a soup and sandwich set in green floral lace. The colors are great together. I like fall leafy patterns in tablecloths that look nice with greens and orange. I never had pieces crack on me. The same with LocknLock. I like many colors.

What Temptations I have, not that much, is in Old World Blue. I don't think that one will ever be discontinued.

@haddon9 Oh yes, he was so excited. I have to admit, I was in shock for several minutes when I opened the garage. I'm still trying to figure out what I'm suppose to do with all these dishes.

I loved Henn! My daughter sold it and I bought a lot of the blue speckled and the off white. I didn't care a whole lot for the baskets but the stoneware was so great. Your husband got you a good find!!
