[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I chose this pattern in 2000 as our Wedding China.
It appealed to us immediately because of its classic pattern, simple elegance and natural colors. We both felt this would be a pattern to last through time and it has! We've been married 17 years and with a heavy heart it pains me to say that I lost several pieces during Hurcane Harvey. Before we evacuated our home, my husband and I moved all our China from a small antique armoire in our dinning room to the top of our refrigerator where we thought it would be safe. Little did we know, that our refrigerator would pull away from the walk and fall on its back bringing the China down with it. The amazing story is that we had 3ft of water, and allowed all my dishes to float down to the floor! We only lost 8 tea cups, 6 bread plates and my sugar holder. Not only is this China elegant, but durable! Even though my China sat in flood water for 8 days, I didn't have the heart to get rid of it! I've already washed my China by hand twice, and will continue to wash it several more times so we can continue to cherish it. Our China is now more than dishes, they symbolize the strength of our marriage and our dream to rebuild our lives together.
