China, Crystal, and Silver....

I don't have formal china, because we just wouldn't use it. But for day to day use, I have Denby Storm, which I love. We have the tea set and several serving pieces as well.

My favourite formal china is the Villeroy & Boch Kimono, which I think has been discontinued.

Our formal china is Wedgewood Strawberry and Vine and we also have accent plates and some serving pieces in Wild Strawberry. Our crystal is Varga (printemps) and sterling is Towle Spanish Provincial.

Sterling: Spanish Provincial by Towle Silversmiths

BTW, we use ours on holidays and for everyday I have some colorful dishes I got at The Great Indoors. I really love having the china, crystal and silver though. I think a "set" table looks so lovely.
Love your crystal!

Have a good set of silverware. My mom has hers, and she uses it whenever we have a fancy meal.

My mom puts out her wedding china, but only on special occasions.
