[quote=Anonymous]Bone china often has gilding and painting that will fade away quickly with regular dishwasher usage. Even in our grandparents' heyday when every young married couple bought a set of good China, they didn't use it every day or even every week. It was for special occasions and dinners. I do have inherited Limoges that was my great grandparents' wedding China from 1903 and it is beautiful but it is also so delicate. And smaller than today's standard sizes (the other problem with old china). I keep it but admittedly rarely use it. Settings like Villeroy and Boch are just more convenient, easier to use, microwavable and still pretty enough for a nice dinner. [/quote]
