its a CROCK
I bristled with my cheep heart at the cost of our first window shopping. the high class titanic dining ware as of course reproduced…. don’t squabble about it too hard, I’ve walked into that shop here and there in my day this type of purchase if cared for is a treasure worth passing to a grandchild as heirloom
Titanic Pottery
don’t feel bad if the occasional dinner party fails…we all know the real maiden voyage went down too!
~1900 for an 12 setting six pieces set. you’re thanksgivings can go down every year!
does this look like a 1935 dining room to you? not to me but it does remind me of the shapes I saw in my middle school.
hiddenburg 1z-129 the standard drink was? gin and juice just like snoop dog rapped. sorry no reproduction table service found
anyone for a coffee?

Those are really cool not my taste of coarse but cool I do have a huge set of china that I bought at a garage sale a few years back so far they are still packed in a box I figure someday I will have a formal dinning room again and I will be able to use them in their grandest form… I paid a whole 5 bucks for the 12 piece set I really enjoyed the story behind the China it was her everyday stuff and she told me about all the times her family had got together and the story behind the chipped sugar bowl she step some out of nerves having his girlfriend over for the first time dropped it and dumped the sugar in his new girlfriends lap…
@SisterMae - believe it or not my tastes in table service are squarish. I like the modern stuff
as for the old styles lol I was a bit shocked there isn’t any lesser expensive reproductionwares of the listed stuffs that’s kida pricey to own china in the style of the ship either went down or went down in flames. interestesting but ultimately that omen in history is just that begging for jokes aplenty if you put out a klicker of a dinner party. next I may do up a formal requires tablesettings dining experience again.. I doubt it though, time marches on and I just don’t. well opens can of beer and cheers to another kinda time 
It is purty and detailed. I am finished with the notion of ever being able to provide that kind of dining experience. I’ve struggled to care for my g.grandma’s china from around 1930ish. Several years ago, I said, “mffff it; might as well use it,” after once trying to sell it with a very high price tag, and these sleazy garage sale rats (the old men kind who look to bilk unsuspecting widows or lazy kids out of valuables) tried to talk me down. Nope. (I didn’t really want to sell, anyway, but if I had, Gram would have been helping me from the grave). So I’ve been enjoying the china, and now pieces are chipped, cracked and missing. I have no kids, and the nieces have blown it with me. Heh. Just call me a wicked little meany.
they are nice but not really my style. gin and juice does sound nice, although I drink coffee like it’s going out of style.
@sleekpunk - I find that if it’s used it’s used… I’ve seen how every element of manners and care is required over a lifetime for stuff to be used but resalably so. or in other words not used up. it’s not my kind of living. my favoritie is how do you get out of a gift you pick out yourself? I mean that’s downright evil hard to avoid
you pick it and therefore lol you only blame yourself if you get what you don’t want 
@plantinthewindow - I’ve here to happily point out that what most of us consider tea cups only in this age are in fact fine coffee cups too
lol as for gin and juice lol, it’s not the drink itself but the style of preparation that I’d like to know- the ugly 1900′s tuxedo etcc the art of olde time production with a flare. I think its part of that style and flavors. I’m sure you’d agree that a percolator you can tell saw campfire duty is much more fun than some unused object with no ghosts.
They have the same restaurant here like that one – old style & ancient. But I think, I rather prefer an old dining cottage room. Looks the more comfy & warm too.
@SherryAngeLMysteriez - there was a place like that old timbers in look dark wood -the dark sucked the room well they no longer sell cod fish but anyfish and it isn’t as good even though they repainted
hmm.. not sure if I would like it. Might be let me try first
@MichellelyNg - hee hee lol
@starmanjones - you know me
hehe
I had fine china and have told my daughter it’s a waste..just get something you like that you’ll use all the time. We use it now as everyday stuff, and it’s chipped. At least it’s finally getting more use than it did in the past.
never understood the nature of fancified furnishings. i guess to use on rare occasions has its purpose – but so do horseshoes and hand grenades… to each his own and to each some happiness seems what it’s all about…
@MichellelyNg - :) hee hee
@songoftheheart - I am with ya! use it dont show
@xplorrn - I actually don’t mind too fancy I find it artistically pleasing but I laugh at the humorous ness by which to share that love of art is so rare rare that something has only a once in a blue moon use
if you move more often than you dinner party and lol that is a good guide even for the young, you might think of wasting money on other treasures. I do have3 a nasty dislike for the show of snobbery though in that respect I find it not amusing that i’d sit at the kids table not with the adults because such is the measure of honour some make far too much a show of it. I point out that there are those no matter their snobberies that know a great game and relish high society shindigss… but know it is indeed a game life is a game but they’ve a sense of humility they do not bother me if they say such isn’t y scene as they’ll explain swiftly the purpose and company and why such has about as much appeal as diy dental surgery. kindly. for instance gather a room of those I hate but it’s important as they’ve cash for a cause? and one liked the challenge of weilding and courting success?.. would you deny them that have that means their pleasures? again some folks like a hoity toity shin dig 
I dream of dropping the china.
I take the china out for Christmas. That’s it. Too many shenanigans to deal with on more than one occasion. Yes, I am the save-the- planet-use-a-paper-plate girl…….Oh, the shame!
And yet…..who’s the one doing the f**king dishes??!! Not those Greenies, to be sure!
we have no fancy china (i’ve never had the want to own it) but that is beautiful and elegant
heh. so not what i thought you were going to talk about, given the title. not that the crock pot needs a post. dude, i posted the car for you, since it showed up again. bless its heart
@Kellsbella - :) oooooo someone hit upon the fly in the oitment of care required
…okay I thought I had it, another loost to time I took a picture of my 2010 grudge’n'ginger day oddly enough my brother spent more of the day bitching about the oh this or that left a dot so that I let the dishes sit until every single dish was done in the empty sink. because he like my mom believe thats required of me or anyone to worry about the work of clean up as in have that done and no more coming as I’m not allow a china required party but all the dishes done first kinda.
@bonmots - I thought so, I wanted to actually see it to not behold it as someone’s movie research but just by itself. it’s rather neat.
@Bels_Kaylar - :) card or car? the xang had something that requires me to say something in a message.
@starmanjones - You must understand that I’m allergic to cleaning. I suppose I should see a physician?
@Kellsbella - hahahaha lol. I’m going to shut up.
That’s really pretty. I don’t have any china…I was supposed to get my mother’s set, but it has been stolen when the house was ransacked, or was given away by her to somebody else. It’s ok though, it wasn’t my style, which is plain white corning ware and really pretty chargers or placemats or good linens.That white set can look look a million bucks or partyware…just depends on how I set it up. And I also have the corning ware christmas dishes. lol So I don’t care so much about yet more dishes to have to store.
@moniet - prime rib is becoming the go to christmas “porker” but thinking of christm) paperplat bbq beef?? only one dish perhaps if one didn’t foil… so a cutting board and knife rocket folded paper to red whiteand blue good humors for deser?
