I’m not rich by far and I live in an apartment. I eat off of porcelain and drink out of crystal everyday. Why not treat yourself like royalty? Who else is going to?

[@v.dargain1678]

Same . I like to set the table (with napkins in napkin rings etc . . ) and sit down and eat too . David and Peggy have set a nice example for the budget-wise to follow .

[@rdlewis3616]

I have all of that and I am not getting any younger. You have inspired me.

[@thevintagekitty]

Same here. I use the British China my grandmother hid in a cabinet for 50 years. Also, because this style isn't popular with young people, you can find very expensive China in thrift stores!

[@drinny26]

I got my crystal glasses at Macy’s when they went on sale and my porcelain china I did indeed get from a thrift store. 😁

[@v.dargain1678]

@@drinny26 Good thinking . I bet your table looks grand at mealtime .

[@v.dargain1678]

David and Peggy made family suppers an artistic experience as well as a time for family members to to get to know one another . Even with a fraction of their budget , I like following their mealtime example . Thanks for uploading 😊

Why be so preoccupied with the pleasures of others? If it is interesting to you, why be bothered with the life of someone else?

@@richardspikman7116 You might have missed the point here. I think that Spotthespy wants this beautiful content to become more massive, not because he is worried about others taste. Have a nice day =)

I love fine porcelain I my self eat off of fine china everyday breakfast lunch and dinner I love it all I think I have 6 different services I would have to look at the ledgers for my dinning room to really make sure and I have luncheon services as well

[@rociojurado9015]

Benjamin Ressler bravo ! I like beauty too !!!

[@user-qz5dq8kn4p]

rocio jurado I was interdicted to the fine porcelain when I was 3 years old when I asked when can I sit at the big boy table my grandmama said when I know how to set a table and sit at the table properly then I may do so I said okay So that summer I spent with her and she showed me how to set the table for 75 people and she also taught me which peace is what and what it is used for same as the sterling that we ate with as well it’s a true treasure when you know what each peace is used for and it’s meaning that’s the way I look at it I enjoy it very much I know my father ounce told me that to lay your grandmamas table it’s up into the high hundreds of thousand mark There’s about 18 peace’s to one of her place setting and that’s informal to her standards lol

[@LUREDADDY52]

I do hope your 6 service sets are inclusive of breakfast, lunch & dinner. My question is then why would you want just one luncheon service extra? Hope that grandmama doesn't know you eat off china & not porcelain.

[@user-qz5dq8kn4p]

LUREDADDY52 3 of them are porcelain. Imperial blue from Russia 18th century from Ireland and old country rose from England and I also have a service that was made for Marie Antoinette that’s only for display

[@user-qz5dq8kn4p]

LUREDADDY52 and all of my serves are for about 28 and each place setting has about 7 peace’s to them

I only just discovered that the dinner set I use daily is the same Tza Tza Gabor’s husband auctioned soon after she died ... and the same that was used in the serial Dynasty at Joan Collins’ home 🤣. The extraordinarily beautiful and hand painted Wedgewood Florentine Turquoise 😍, patterns of which were, allegedly, drawn from Emperor’s Nero Domus Aurea in Rome where I was born 😬

Goes to show that we have been buying buying things from china for centuries.

[@elbichito24]

I watched the video and began to read the comments with the respect, solemnity and silence that one has when entering a museum. But when I came across your excellent comment, I was hopeless and had to laugh out loud ... I think you only need two things to eat: hunger and of course, food. Spaghetti with Bolognese Sauce tastes just as good whether served in a large Ming Dynasty Chinese porcelain bowl or a large Xi Jiping Dynasty Chinese plastic bowl

I was drawn to the beauty of the dishes and I love perusing antique and second hand stores. They are truly treasure chests, you just have to take your time and appreciative the 🎁 gifts. Obviously when you are very monetarily affluent, you can invest in these objets d’art as a passionate hobby. Every HUman has an interest in some aspect of Beauty in the world, but most NEVER have an opportunity to express this interest. However, the families such as the Rockefeller’s, Rothschilds , Vanderbilts, etc and those in many of the families in Europe took, stole and made their fortunes via Slavery; Diamond and Gold mining and owning factories in which historically child labor was used and abused. So, when we admire their taste of entertaining and their collections of things, remember that simultaneously countless people gave their blood, sweat, tears and lives so that these families for generations to come, enjoyed the fruits of other people’s PAIN! We are now creating a NEW Earth 🌍 where there is Abundance for ALL in ways which are for their Highest and Greatest Good! There is Balance in ALL Things. We are releasing giving our Power to Others, speaking our Truth ad Honoring that we came to Mother Earth to Create Heaven on Earth. Unfortunately there is so much coming to the surface which has been anchored and hidden in the dense energies. This is to Awaken Us, so that Our Beloved Planet NEVER has to experience this again.

[@cjjuddaustralianartist]

I put off paying my electricity bill so I could buy a porcelain dinner set. When I laid up the table they turned off my electricity. Whilst stumbling in the dark I bumped heavily onto the table and sent everything crashing on to the floor. 😕🙄 😂 🤣

These must have been very cold people, they bought so much porcelain made from Cornish clay, which is what most toilet bowls are made of-the famille rose is fabulous and definitely isn't harsh or very white. My favourites: Sevres, Dresden, Meissen, Chelsea and Italian Rococo, especially figural. There's a Sevres Museum in Paris and the Queen's Chelsea is fabulous and not so icey-cold English toilet bowl style.

Do you think they ate their KFC off of "appropriate" 18th century porcelain???

[@cwynn1547]

It’s pretty but art pieces at this point, nobody buying these are going to eat off them.

[@chrish.4686]

The worst advice ever given is at approximately 3:19. I was noticing that some of these pieces look heavily worn and damaged even, and then this foolish curator gives the advice to take grandmother's china out of the cabinet and use it. Well, when you use it, you damage it with knife marks and the inevitable wear and tear and the unavoidable, occasional breakage. And, add to that the fact that it's probably not particularly healthful to eat off of dinnerware that was painted with paints that probably contained lead and other toxic elements, especially when said porcelain's paint is wearing off with use! .

[@susancarter8025]

It all must be washed by hand.

So a porcelain expert is suggesting us to use our grandparents' old China instead of keeping it in a glass cabinet out of fear they will completely destroy decades of heirloom?
