But with Bug (10 month old) in the house I think the almost indestructible corelle is sticking around. And we will probably get some plastic dishes!

That's what we do. Me and hubby use our Martha Stewart, and my two year old uses his "special" plastic dishes. TIMMY'S CHINA SET. LOL!

We have some odds and ends of plastic dishes that I think we will use until Bug is about Timmy's age and then I will let him pick out some dishes of his own. We will get enough so that we can all use them sometimes so that he can help set and clear the table. I have dropped and shattered corelle on occasion so I probably won't have him handle it too much until he is 4 or 5 and a bit less likely to cut himself on the pieces (when he better understands "Stop, wait for mommy/daddy to help" etc.). When it does break it makes a nasty mess and those pieces are sharp - pretty much as bad as china or stoneware but less likely to happen. Not to mention they are a lot lighter and easier for a little guy to handle!

Oooh, Michele--I didn't think of looking for a picture at Replacements.com (I have used them before for other than china)

HERE is Mimi.


Oh your set is gorgeous! I have a single saucer that's very similar and it's one of my favorites!

Isn't it pretty? I inherited it from my paternal grandmother[:)]. My maternal grandmother had the exact same pattern, but in green. Both were married in the '20's, but one in Tennessee and one in Alabama. I thought that was kind of neat[:D]

HERE is what we got when we got married...bit only because I had another inherited set of ironware that pretty much matched it[8D] (It's solid white, so it doesn't show up well.)


Hey, guess what? I was looking through some antique shops yesterday and found a full set of Noritake dishes that were very similar to yours and thought of you immediately!! I didn't write down the pattern name, so I might just have to go back to look. But I do remember it was Noritake! [:D]

I've got three sets of china that I've inherited, but it's up in the attic and dh never wants to get it down for me!

For every day, we use Fiestaware. I love that stuff!

My china pattern is Noritake's Savanah.
My every day is Sango's Green Acres.

I don't know how to put those links in for you to see them.
I do know that both are no longer made, and we've gotten replacement pieces off of ebay....

Sango's Green Acres
Noritake's Savanah

There you go! You just highlight the word you want to link in the reply field and then click the "link" button. That pops up a window where you can put the web address (I normally cut and paste it.) After inserting that, click OK.



operalady -> RE: What is your formal china/everyday dish pattern? (4/23/2008 8:24:51 AM)

Yup! that's them!
Thanks!!!

Which ever style of Dixie paper plates are on sale at the grocery store. [;)]

I have lighthouses from Target for every day, a very pretty pattern with four differnt lighthouses and ocean scenes. I've decided that when we are down to four total sets (only one mug has chipped thus far, but no kids have handled them yet), I will put them away for when my husband and I are old [:)] and want to remember the newly wed days.

I don't have any formal china, but I'd love to get some somday. Not in the budget now. . . I grew up using a lovely pattern that my mom got from my great uncle in England, very elegant and beautiful. I don't think I'll inherit them though, because most of them did not survive my four brothers.
