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

Narwhale she should have let you choose them! One of my kids has black dishes, but he purchased them himself.

Absolutely not! All my plates are different and all Emma Bridgewater

My favourite dinner plate! Stolen as a student over 30 years ago. It is is Pyrex and makes everything taste better. I would be heartbroken if it ever smashed. A couple of times I searched on line for a duplicate to no avail. I guess they all went to landfill when the restaurants closed down.

@JellyfishandShells you've made me so happy. I knew there was a reason why every single older person in South Wales has got the same crockery. Didn't know if it was a hive-mind type deal.

You have made me a happy granddaughter now

I agree. Food looks horrible on coloured plates.

ThatssomebadhatHarry · 11/01/2020 21:21

My dh will only get white plates he says it makes the food look better.

white crockery -- mass catering and cheap hotels

White dinner plates. White large bowls (pasta size). White large side plates. Then everything else blue and white. Everything goes together that way, looks great on the table even though nothing really matches.

@PearTreeParty they are! Got them as a moving in gift from my DM about 2 years ago!

Actually Greenglassteacup is making me crave a green glass tea cup.
I am not a plain white sort of woman either.

You only need white bed linen if you have to bleach out stains. RegularlyWink

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 11/01/2020 21:30

My parents had this set when I was growing up 《vom》

We have plain white with a duck egg blue trim. My plan when it needs replacing is to go to all white.

Also if anyone is able to lay hands on a 80s style smoked glass coffee cup, let me know as nanna is down to 2 and refuses to serve coffee in anything else and i firmly believe that she will dehydrate on principle of those bloody cups smash

I got married in the 70s. Had a full set of Pyrex Carnaby Tempo,Absolute height of sophistication and fashion.

I now have all white - the majority of which was bought in the 90s.

@nauticant

Oh my word just read back - there's more than one lover of that set!!

ChardonnaysDistantCousin · 11/01/2020 21:35

Agree.

thesunhasgothishatontoday · 11/01/2020 21:36

What's not to love about these beauties?

they are fine for pudding.

MyBlueMoonbeam · 11/01/2020 21:39

Art Deco & Art Nouveau collector here too - we mix & match old and contemporary pieces.

Use plain circular white plates & then serve gravy and veg and condiments etc. in a variety of nice china jugs and dishes.

Nothing clashes I might add - cannot stand the fashion for mis-matched tea sets 😖
