I really don't use it that often. Only for holidays - but for Xmas I have Xmas dishes so that takes care of that....but I did use them for Easter.

Re: POLL: Do you use your fine china/crystal/silver

im probably not going to use it, only for the holidays - thats why instead of registering for china, my grandmother is giving me hers.

its very old - has flowers on it - not really my taste - but id rather people by me things ill actually use and at least have an airloom from grandma.

my other grandma bought me new crystal - ill use that when i use the china, lol

Re: POLL: Do you use your fine china/crystal/silver

We decided against all the fancy stuff. For one, I just think it is too expensive for the limited amount of time it's used... and the bigger reason- I am so CLUMSY!! I am sure I would break it.

We have regular dishes (Corelle) but did get a nicer set of Pfaltzgraff for company... although right now it is at my ILs house because we don't have any room to store it...

Nope never its for decoration/show only. Our everyday dishes though are technically a fine china - but I use them as everyday dishes.

Re: POLL: Do you use your fine china/crystal/silver

Never...it's all still in their original boxes.

I guess I registered for the stuff to be traditional, but I could have had people use the money on other stuff.

Re: POLL: Do you use your fine china/crystal/silver

I have used my Lenox dishes & Crystal for any holidays I have hosted.

Since we split the holidays with my family & his....it's only a few times a year (1-2).

If we are having the holiday with his family, it is a small group (5-9 people) so I always offer to host it even though we live in the same house as his parents JUST so I can set the table with my stuff!! Love my china!

ETA that I was even able to find Christmas salad plates that matched my set....so I added those as Xmas gift from my inlaws a few years ago!!!

Re: POLL: Do you use your fine china/crystal/silver

We used it once. Then when we got enough to fill the china closet, we didn't take it out of there.

Now we have enough to have dinner for four without going into the china closet. Maybe I will invite my parents over and make it special.

We have used the crystal.

We also used the silver once (with the china)

With the weather cooling down, I am getting inspired to have a nice dinner What occasions do we have coming up, though? Any nice holidays?

Re: POLL: Do you use your fine china/crystal/silver

No, only because we're still in an apartment and have nowhere to put it, so it's being stored at FIL's house. But I totally love my china and visit with it often.

We do use our good wine glasses on the regular.

I use my fine china fairly often. Even if it is just me and DH. I think if you have it, you should use it.

Mine is sitting in a box. I used it once after we were married. DH commented how the burnt eggs really contrasted with the white china.Chat Icon
