I have Fiesta in sunflower, orange, purple, and cobalt with matching mugs and a lot of other matching stuff. Also a set of white dishes that look like classic diner ware, because sometimes that is just what food wants to be served on. And it all looks nice on display [link]

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Cobalt, shamrock, and black, with serving pieces in scarlet. My peopls!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Ooooh...do I want turquoise or peacock?

I worship my white bistroware from the Crate & Barrel outlet. Mugs for $1.50 12 years ago. It all still looks as good today as it did new and weighs a ton. I lurve it. NO mismatching anything in my cupboards. I love other people's collections of eclectic mixes but I twitch over asymmetry in my own life.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I would happily stock my shelves with these or these, but either set only comes in 3 colours I'd like (and white), not 4. So I'd probably do 2 and 2, which thrills me less than one of each.
This is a nice set, but it only comes in the one colour. Still, it's a colour I could live with.
These are also nice for a full set, but I don't know if square format cereal/soup bowls would drive me batshit or not. These are a nice alternative, without the square issue.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I don't know if square format cereal/soup bowls would drive me batshit or not.
They annoy me. Square plates too. It's just wrong. I bought one square soup bowl and I use it for collecting small things on the kitchen counter.

I like the feel of Mikasa, nice on the fingertips.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I actively like the square plates, and square bowls are okay for me, but you gotta watch out for square mugs. Those things can be pretty mean if you're not paying attention.

Have you whacked yourself in the teeth with a square mug, Liese?
