<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bercrystal, post: 4247896, member: 88&quot;]Hello [USER=20868]@Elaine Saulnier[/USER] &amp; welcome to the forum!! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with [USER=649]@bluumz[/USER] about these dishes. They would be a very difficult sell in SC also. A lot of people refer to these types of dishes as &quot;Grandma dishes&quot; because that is the style that everyone&#039;s Grandmothers had &amp; used for family dinners. </p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, most folks no longer have big family dinners served on the &quot;good china&quot; anymore &amp; these would have to be hand-washed due to the gold trim so that would be another reason folks would not want them. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have my Mother&#039;s china that she bought when I was about 10 &amp; will likely never part with it. I have it all displayed in my china cabinet but it hasn&#039;t come out in the 8 years we have lived in this house. The main reason being that it has platinum trim so it would have to be hand-washed &amp; quite frankly after cooking all day the last thing I want to do is hand wash dishes. Besides no one at my table would care besides me because they don&#039;t have the memories of them that I do. So I am content just walking by that cabinet every day &amp; just looking at them. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Until someone like Oprah starts touting this type of dishes they will likely be pushed to the bottom shelf to collect dust. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
