The Dishes You Use

[ Edited ]

What special dinnerware/dishes or other plates/bowls and serving pieces do you use during the holidays?

Do you use special glasses? Silverware?

 

These are from Williams Sonoma ...

I have nice Dansk dinnerware I use everyday and for holidays.  However, I do have a small set (svc for 4) of Christmas dishes that someone mentioned here as a special at Boscov's several years ago.  My set has a cardinal design but there were several choices.  I paid $3.99 with free shipping.  I use them a lot in winter and there is not even one single chip on any piece.

@Kachina624  I have the same dishes as per someone on here mentioning them at Boscov's. Same price. They are beautiful.

My grandparents and parents had "special" holiday dishes.

 

I can't think of anyone I know who does that today.

I use my everyday dishes.  They are a cream color and I like that I can use them for them for every occassion themed to what I need at the time.  I do have beautiful Lenox china.  It's plain by many standards, white with silver.  I never used it.  I have it in my dining room hutch and it looks so nice and I enjoy it that way.

Our white dishes can be accessorizied according to the holiday.

I still like cloth napkins in colors that match the season, and flowers that do the same.

Little trinkets on the table, ribbons, etc. help with the holiday decore -- and all take up very little space when I store them.

 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, Y'ALL!

I love dishes and I especially like holiday patterns.

I not only have the Christmas dishes @Kachina624 posted, but I have summer dishes that are light blue depression glass, fall dishes Apple Franciscan Ware, and Snowmen dishes for the winter. A set for each season!
