Dashing Dinnerware: Picking Fine China
Born in the 13th century in a Jaingxi province of China, fine china dinnerware was one of the most sought out items for trading and quickly grew to become one of the top exports in China. Not only do its colors and material display beautifully as a decorative table piece, but it also offers a strength that many in Europe could not replicate, leaving China the leader in production for centuries. Today, England is the leading party in the manufacturing of fine china, but Porcelain spread to become a worldwide dinnerware that all enjoy. But how do you decide what style is best for you?
There are several ways of going about it, but to find the ideal china, many people turn to specialty shops. The displays available in specialty shops offer an advantage and allow you to better see the size, shape and texture of the china. On the other hand, many online shops will have discount dishes and a wider selection to choose from. The first may allow you to see the manufacturer’s products close up and for yourself, but online you will get the opportunity to check out more possible manufacturers than you would in a store. Here are a few of the top names to look for:
Blue Willow
Waechtersbach
Portmeirion
Lenox
Tracy Porter
Fiesta
Pfaltzgraff
Blue Danube
Royal Doulton
Villeroy & Boch
Once you find a brand that you like, it is all a matter of preference. What colors do you like? What goes well with your other dinnerware? Is it sturdy enough for using on occasion or are they just for decoration? You should also pick a style you can take care of. For instance, if you can’t or would rather not hand wash your china, then you should get china without gilding as those in particular must be hand washed. These are just a few aspects to consider when picking fine china.
