My formal china is Herend fishscale in rust (can look red or orange) with fun accent plates and I use it for holidays - probably 5x a year.

Is that lead free? I thought gold paint has lead.

Most china is not completely lead free - lead is present in almost all antique china (not just the gold rim) and most current lines if you research it.

Not PP, but the Mottahedeh gold rim is on the outside and wouldn't touch the food. Obviously you're supposed to hand-wash anything with a painted gold rim.

So then how are people using it every day? I'd personally feel kind of weird using anything with lead, even for special occasions (we have a lot).

No one is using antique China everyday. "Everyday" China is typically a plain bone China that is lead free and dishwasher safe. No one is "bone"headed enough to use lead based fine China everyday.

+1. My China is both dishwasher and microwave safe. I don’t have anywhere to store a complete set of China that is never use.

I have no idea why you would mock US; a quick vacation vs. high quality infrastructure for your home. You are being ridiculously myopic.

I’ve been married for 10 years and my “fine China” is still sitting in my parents’ basement. It has never been used. I don’t have the SPACE for a China hutch. Maybe if I had been allowed to ask for a down payment contribution instead of China I would have a bigger home, which I would prefer to the China that I have nowhere to store.

Yeah, no. There are plenty of people in their 30s and 40s, including me, that enjoy nice modern fine china and use it daily. I did not grow up eating off Corelle or Ikea plates and won't do so now.

My very poor cousins used Correlle. I vowed as a very young child never to use them. They are awful.

We have a HHI of 700k+\yr and use Corelle daily. Doesn’t break and can be thrown in the microwave and basically thrown around. I also don’t sleep under sheet that aren’t fine Egyptian cotton

I’m on a fine China kick, and really enjoyed seeing your China patterns. They are all beautiful.

We use it every Sunday.

We use Lennox Autumn (more in the fall and winter); we use Mom's mid century modern teal Kingsley china, we also use grandma's gold band china.

I tend to use the gold band china during the Christmas season.

I have a beautiful set of Lenox but never use it since my DD with autism is rough on everything she touches. We use plastic glassware and unbreakable dishes to save our sanity. I'm thinking about starting to use it and just let her do her thing now that I care a lot less about material things now.

I also have a set of Fitz and Floyd Deauville Burgundy

This is gray with a burgundy band and looks very contemporary. A friend picked the set up for almost nothing at a garage sale. I use this when friends come for dinner.
I also will use this around the holidays due to the burgundy trim.

Due to the simple lines and light color it looks very contemporary.

When did you get married? What did you do?
