Kitchen

[Sooner]

I love china, drinking glasses, flatware, linens, etc., and some of you do too!   Today I was thinking if I only could keep one set of dishes, it probably would be Wedgwood Nantucket Basket!  

I think the pattern is beautiful and I would never get tired of it.  It has always been my go-to set that is in the hall sideboard, and it has the serving pieces I'd need.

I just love the look and size of it!  Do you have a favorite?  And of course most of you probably aren't into that sort of thing, and I understand it might not be your cup of tea.  Which is ok!

It would be my fiestaware. Sturdy and pretty colors.

Corelle. Light weight and lasts forever.

@Sooner  I have china that I never use.  But my Fiesta gets used every day and for every occasion.  So that's my "one" set of dishes.

ETA Oops, just remembered my Christmas dishes by Pfaltzgraff  that I use throughout the month of December!

We have just one set now, Corelle. Boring aren't we?

another vote for Corelle. My hands are weaker now from arthritis and surgery. Can't handle anything heavy

Me too.

Corelle was our first set of dishes.  I remember how those would shatter when they hit the tile floor in our tiny university housing appartment!  Scary!  

They do fit well in a compact space.

Fiesta is my one and only set of dishes.  We live very casually now, no more *formal* dining room.

Picked Fiesta for many reasons, made in the USA, no lead, can go in the oven as we don't microwave here, can set a very colorful table.

All my serving pieces, baking dishes, platters and mixing bowls are also Fiesta.

@Sooner, my one set of forever dishes that have been used daily for nearly 30 years are 'restaurant ware'.

Back when I worked for the Sheraton, the restaurant was changing out their china, so the old, much used stuff was headed out to pasture.

I took some, and also gave some to my sister.

It's still perfect. Crazy! That stuff will outlive us both!
