Do you want to dream about getting new dishes? (floors, counters, pictures)

I'm enjoying seeing how we've all "evolved" over time with our pattern choices.
Thank you, gentlearts, for starting this thread.

Hmmm. I haven't evolved at all. That must mean I am still in my 20's!

Some people have evolved. You and I are still in our 20s!

I will always love dishes though. I also love the history of porcelain and seeing the different patterns through the ages.

I use the square white Corning Ware dishes. Love them because they are so light. But I would love some pottery dishes in a turquoise blue from here

I saw a pattern I like in the latest Home Decorators catalog and unless I find something I like more, I’ll ask Santa for it. Of course, I’ll want to see it and feel it in person first. Some China looks and feels cheap.

If you could throw out all your old dishes and start fresh, what would you pick?

I've got a dish thing. Certainly. Collecting certain classic Pfaltzgraff patterns, certain Fiestaware onesie-twosies, vintage Corelle, restaurantware, I could go on.

You can't make me throw out my old dishes!

But if I wanted to add to my enormous collection, it would be something matte and in the color family of toast and cream.

I won’t throw them out...the horror. I will faze them out. I couldn’t just go cold turkey on my old reliables, LOL.

Plain white in round and square, lots of it and Wilton Flutes and Pearls as chargers.

Here's my weirdo dish quirk: I don't like the look of food on a plate with big decals or splashy prints, or on black or other dark plates. Black plates are so elegant, but only before food is placed on them.

same here....takes away from food presentation, if such a thing matters to you.

I get why this would bother people, but Ive never had anyone complain about the food because their plate is just too busy. My blue willow is very busy.

However, I’ve seen some very attractive plates with bugs and frogs, etc. on them. I wouldn’t like that.
