I also have B Altman Winter Scenes that were great grandmas. I use them around Christmas and also for decorating.

The UPS guy that packed them up told me they were the most beautiful pieces he had ever seen.

There has been an uptick in fine china consumption thanks to the pandemic.

I have Royal Doulton Melrose. I’m in my mid-30s, and was gifted it by my grandparents when they downsized. We’ve never used it, but this thread has inspired me to pull it out for fun occasions! I have a lot of it and it’s okay if some pieces break.

I also have Spode Christmas Tree china that we use a few times during the holidays.

Have never used it and have been married over 20+ years.

Our everyday China is Wedgwood Nantucket Basket. Use it all the time and including for holidays. We even have the “Christmas” plates.

I always love a china thread, but I recognized my own post from when this discussion first appeared.

If, as so many participants insist, NO ONE likes fine china anymore, why is it still so darned expensive to add to the sets I already have? I keep waiting to see disdain reflected in low prices on eBay, but so far, it’s still pricey.

I love all you fine China users! I have basic crate and barrel plates but at some point will replace with a nicer white china set. I also have a full set of Spode Christmas tree which we use daily from thanksgiving weekend to new years and it makes me so happy!

Have you looked up whether this china contains lead?

Why is it so hard to sell a china set (not worth it's value) vs buying a new place setting (pay full price)?

I have two sets of Meissen china. Sat in a cupboard for the last 50 years. One set is my mom's the other my grandmother's.

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.

The above comment prompted me to buy a lead testing kit.

So far, I have thrifted china from Churchill, Noritake, Harmony House, Gold Standard, Liberty Blue from Staffordshire and Blue Willow from Bristol House. I have thrifted teapots from Andrea by Sadek and Nippon.

The Bristol House (made in China) and the Nippon items tested positive for lead. I will contact the thrift store that sold the Bristol House china to make them aware, because there is still a lof of this china in the store. I will dispose of it, and buy Churchill blue willow instead.

I'm not concerned about the teapots, because they are for display only.

I have this also! And also used for holidays. I have carted it and my crystal all over the world and I think it gave me the most satisfaction using it far from home and inviting guests to share our holiday traditions - especially Thanksgiving.
