Back in the '50's my mom broke out a set that looked like these:

Do you or did your family have "special" dishes for holidays?
 
I inherited 'the good china' and the huge cabinet it has been kept in for more than a hundred years. Every piece in perfect condition.

I've used it only once.

No one in their right mind would want it, as it is too delicate for the dishwasher, and all the gold leaf makes it unusable for the microwave.
 
We will have three dinners this year where we use good china ...

We love to set it for the holiday occasions...along with the crystal and silver.

And freshly pressed linen napkins.

It is a way of making our guests know they are special and get the full spread.

And it is ritual as well...a reminder of all the occasions past.

I handwash all dishes, silver and glassware so I don't mind how delicate they are. Treat them with TLC.

But use them...
 
For the record, the little flowers on my dishes are forget-me-nots, NOT periwinkle!
 
I've never seen my parents break out their wedding china. I'm not even sure what purpose it serves. When they kick it, I doubt any of us are going to want it.
 
/\ It's called 'Blue Willow', isn't it?

I've always thought of it as folksy. I have a friend who has the matching bedroom water pitcher and chamber pot.:)

Not very Christmassy in my eyes. That shade of blue seems more Chanukah than Christmas.

I think you should throw them out.
 
One of our dinners will be on Imari....a set of china I bought for my partner on our 20th Christmas together.

My mum has 2 sets: the one she got when they got married, and another one she bought some 20 years ago. We used either one of them at least once a year.
