But my favorite item, bought on sale about 10 years ago, is an enormous Dutch jug which looks magnificent at this time of year filled with flowering branches or tulips. Long live Burleigh!<br /><br />The black does look tempting, and while the grey isn't my cup of tea, it's very current and might be just the thing to tempt someone toward a hint of color and pattern. <br /><br />RebeccaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-66771138375286760992017-04-20T12:05:58.077-04:002017-04-20T12:05:58.077-04:00The great advantage of plain china, maybe with a s...The great advantage of plain china, maybe with a simple border, is that food looks good on it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-32989128554767002402017-04-19T12:30:43.440-04:002017-04-19T12:30:43.440-04:00I only have four sets of dishes, one of which is b...I only have four sets of dishes, one of which is blue and white. The black and white Burleigh would make for a very striking tabletop, but I would also be partial to the blue and white. Patterned dishes are so much more pleasing than plain.

We use it every day, because we're worth it! I can't imagine having an "inferior" set.

I'm SO tired of them in every single kitchen, on shelves and in glass-fronted cabinets. BORING! If someone wants a more contemporary look, any of these - the black and white or the gray - would look wonderful without being so boring. <br /><br />Like HBD above, I'm a huge fan of blue and white dishes (and also have a "dishes addiction" - 11 sets for me!). My everyday pattern is an old, now discontinued Royal Copenhagen pattern called Tranquebar. My late MIL also had it but I only got a few of her dishes - they appear to have disappeared and no one knows who got them (of is telling!). <br /><br />Is anyone going to remember their grandmother's plain white Crate and Barrel dishes? Probably not, but they will remember dishes such as the Burleigh and others that have stood the test of time and are very special. srbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02856563845261571825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-37916168437682659212017-04-19T10:42:10.923-04:002017-04-19T10:42:10.923-04:00That's the beauty of these classic patterns......That's the beauty of these classic patterns...they never go out of style, and one never tires of them.

I have six sets of china—somewhat of an addiction, I must say—but my hand reaches out for the blue and white most often. I am so old that one of those sets includes Armetale!
