Dinner sets should be white and white only. AIBU?

[Plugitinthen]

I’ll give you a pass for off white.

Please someone tell me they also remember when the woman posted her roast dinner on a clear see through plate? #wistful

Pyrex Chelsea pattern to add to the thread-theme of plate pics!

I really don’t give a shit. However, I prefer slate.

I'm another one with Denny imperial blue. It's the only dinner set we have so use it all the time, and it's over 27 years old. Still in great condition.

I do have a few tea sets that I love dearly and they are more flamboyant. I have a pink and gold one from my great grandmother that is my pride and joy.

A coloured rim is acceptable for everyday use, formal services should be white, gold rim or family crest ok ... in my opinion, and slates, chopping boards etc are never appropriate for meals!!!

Yes to white bedding (400 thread count Egyptian cotton) but for towels coloured at home are better as they are more forgiving ... two teenagers with a hair dye fondness!

Who gives a flying f---k.

I think it's been scientifically proven that people eat more off plain white plates, and the darker and/or more complex the patterning, the less they eat.
So...jazzy jangly black-and-multi plates for us chubsters, and pristine white for picky childrens?

And square plates and soup bowls are definitely out, IMHO.

Yabu.
I have a mismatched collection of wonderful vintage plates. I love them, and everyone has a favourite plate.

Wilko's.

Well, at state banquets, some of the Queen's china is gold and green - and floral.

I wonder whether this is the ceramic equivalent of the 'what'/'pardon' topic?

White just because easier to replace. But bowls and some of the coffee cups are blue . I like single colours but don't like fussy patterns.

I got to page 4 of this thread and have lost the will to live.

Mine are Italian blue, I like them

White and round only, never ever anything else

Mine are white round ones from Jamie Oliver Royal Worchester. They have a slightly raised geometric pattern also in white. I bought them when DH and I got married 16 years ago. I've only had to replace 2 plates in that time and I still really like them. I wish I had bought the pasta bowls as well, but we lived in a small flat at the time.

I go through wine glasses like water, mostly from dropping them in my ceramic sink, so I only buy cheapy plain ones.

I love all white bedding but I have awful periods so we're in the process of replacing everything with darker colours.

I badly want these;

I do have some big black squares ones but only use them if nothing left. My current ones are multi-coloured arty swirls that look hand painted.

I have a ton of Rayware Olivio, which cheers me up and goes well with my acid yellow kitchen. I mix and match with plain racing green, green with yellow sunflowers and green and yellow Bockling. I don't like white anything, except bath, loo and (not all) ceilings. Even my kitchen sink is dark green.
Under the bed, I have MIL's blue and white wedding dinner service, which I might sell one day..
In my holiday cottage, I have a duck egg blue Denby set.

Personally I prefer white, but if other people want colours, what's that to me?

I have a weekend cup too

Oh good StCharlotte. That makes me feel better. It just feels so nice to have a leisurely coffee or tea in a weekend cup!

Sorry, posted on wrong thread. Have reported

White is overrated .

We have oval plates (and bowls) and round ones. There isn't really a full set. Some are patterned some are white. I refer the white oval ones
