That kinetic sculpture made me feel like I was tripping balls hard.
When my parents started cleaning out an old cabin they bought from my grandparents, they found a ton of 100 year-old Wedgwood china that my grandmother had stashed there decades ago and forgotten about. Not in perfect condition, but worth a lot more than most things you find in moldy cardboard boxes in the closet of a log cabin sinking that's sinking into a swamp!
I have dishes from Crate & Barrel that I love, but they chip really easily. (I can't find them online anymore, maybe that's why!) The bowls are giant with flat bottoms and are great for eating dishes that don't really require a bowl, but benefit from having an edge to push food up against, like pasta, or broiled fish over rice.
This [link] is ALMOST close enough. The tea cups were a more delicate shape and there were proper saucers for them as well as the sandwich plates. I think there might have been smaller bowls included, too. Also, the dishes were perfectly round. I think a slightly irregular shape is a deal-breaker, though.
Sigh.
Calamityware it is, then.
We got all our dishes through the power of msbelle-on-eBay.
And they still get compliments any time I post a food picture on FB.
Msbelle, that looks a lot like my grandmother's china, that my sister has. And my grandmother's name was also Marguerite.
There is a large set of Limoges with hand-painted pink rosebuds and gold rims that used to be my great-grandmother's. It could be mine, but I don't want it. Too fussy for me. It's my mom's for now.
DH and I are happy with our Fiestaware.

Same! Except I have my grandmother's, and she went by Margot, but was actually named Marguerite.
Grandma Margurites for the win.
Other grandmother was Marjorie, she had a sister Marg who I think was actually a Margaret and the mom was Marjorie who had sisters: Marguerite, Maude, Minnie, and Mae.
