Now for a completely different variety of china pattern.
Versace's "Hot Flowers" pattern by Rosenthal will definitely give your table a burst of personality. Busy? Yes . . . Perhaps a bit much? Sure . . .
But definitely fun!
Even Bed Bath & Beyond is carrying the pattern.
After all of the previous formal china posts, I am taking a different direction with this Haviland pattern.
"Floralies" is so delicate in this feminine, floral fashion. I could imagine that if one's husband-to-be paid much attention, he might put up a bit of an argument over this choice.
But those of you with inattentive husbands, congratulations!
Available for special order at Fortunoff.
Another day, another display-worthy china pattern.
This Raynaud pattern is titled "Allee Royale".
In the world of the typical five piece place setting, it is interesting that Michael C. Fina also sells this as a three piece place setting. Dinner plate, tea saucer, and teacup.
Platinum details are a prevalent feature of most of the popular china patterns you will see on the registry lists today.
Perhaps that is what draws your eye to the old-world quality of Royal Crown Derby's "Darley Abbey".
This pattern recalls a grand pattern passed down through your family, lending tradition and a story to your dining table. Depth and dimension.
Available at Michael C. Fina.
Another pattern worth china cabinet display . . .
La Scala by Ginori.
Available at Michael C. Fina.
Continuing with the collector-worthy china for your registry . . .
Behold "Heloise" by Raynaud.
Available at Michael C. Fina.
With impeccable timing, my need to collect china began soon after the registry process did. The LazyEyeBride is not a truly modern girl, no, she prefers the more ornate patterns.
Patterns more at home in an ornate cabinet display than actually on one's table.
Patterns like Symphony by Robert Haviland.
Found at Michael C. Fina.
