I bought the Lenox Butterfly Meadow (original pattern) a couple weeks ago when it was the TSV. I need something to bake in that can go on the table. For any Q customers who bought the Lenox, do you have any Temp-tations color suggestions? I'm leaning toward cobalt blue in Floral Lace or Old World .... or .... confetti in Old World? Thank you.

I think they are both too busy of patterns to go together. I saw one 3 qt oval baker called butterfly garden or something and maybe the poinsettia pattern. I have black and cream OW, I'd use the cream only because I already had it.

If I was buying I'd look for something like the French white corelle that had a 'china' look to it. Even clear bowls would look better.

Re: What is best Temp-tations Color to Choose?

I agree with those that say none of the Temptations pattern would look good with your beautiful Lenox Butterfly pattern. As was mentioned, Fiestaware would look good with it, and any white baking dishes would look nice. I wouldn't do anything to take away from your nice dishes.

I only bought a couple of pieces of Temptations but threw them away after reading about the pieces cracking or exploding in the oven. Still, that's not why I'm saying this. The Lenox pattern is so nice I just think Temptations would take away from that. They're two completely different styles.

Just two days back, I had dinner served to me on those dishes. They really made a pretty table. My hostess used solid serving dishes in green and blue. Sorry I don't know a brand but I do know they were not Fiesta because they were delicate than that.

I have a lot of TT, but wouldn't combine it with that Lenox pattern if I did own it. Look around for solid colors in accessory pieces and/or bakeware.

Re: What is best Temp-tations Color to Choose?

I love the Fiesta choices shown upthread ... and my first thought was a French White as well. I can't think of any of the Temptations that would be compatible.

And congrats on the Lennox, it was a gorgeous offering~!

Re: What is best Temp-tations Color to Choose?

I have to say I'm not a fan of the Fiesta with the Lenox. The Fiesta is too bold and geometric. The Lenox needs something with more graceful lines. Temp-tations Vintage Grace or something similar in style, would be a better match. Fiesta is casual, and the Lenox is much more refined and elegant.
