Many years ago, I had a part time job at Dillards in their Bridal Department / Gift Registry. There was something special about that pattern and I was able to buy a few pieces. (Even with an employee discount, it was pretty pricey!)<br /><br />One Thanksgiving, when we received our extra special 'Holiday Employee Discount,' I splurged and ordered a covered vegetable tureen. It sure is beautiful.<br /><br />The best thing about bone china, besides its beauty, it has a strength to it: we actually attended classes on the benefits of bone china, how strong it is (remember the ads that had a car placed on top of four teacups and saucers, to show how strong the teacups were?) <br /><br />We did a lot of 'taste testings' at our store - we served coffee in bone china cups and side by side, in styrofoam cups - the coffee tasted so much better in the china cups!<br /><br />Also with bone china, you can mix and match patterns so easily (as they all look so pretty when on the table). I remember when our store discontinued patterns, the price went way down and you could add to your collection: I was able to get some nice pieces and though they are different patterns, they look beautiful together.<br /><br />Three cheers to collecting china!<br />Joanie<br /><br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-77092547986595254402014-09-05T06:53:23.102-04:002014-09-05T06:53:23.102-04:00Fascinating.

I admire Wedgwood and love seeing it, but not a particular fan.
