Which CHINA pattern did you choose?

Hi everyone - I've been having some issues choosing China - there's not anything I really love. I've been looking at Fortunoff's and Michael C. Fina in Manhattan. Any other suggestions?

Which pattern did you choose? Please post the pic if you can!

Here's my everyday - Villeroy & Boch CITY LIFE:

I chose Chandon by Noritake, plates are scalloped with delicate white floral lace on ivory china. A narrow band of gold surrounds the edge of each.

Pearl Innocence by Lenox for formal and Florea, Filigree and Ferro (a mix and match thing) from Villeroy and Boch for casual. Will post if I ever figure out how.

Re: Which CHINA pattern did you choose?

I had the same problem you did, I looked everywhere and the one pattern I liked was from Tiffany's and hand panted from FRANCE. So I just got nice plane white every day dishes and opted not to get china. My grandmother gave me her wedding china which i love so I have fancy china already.
Good luck!

Re: Which CHINA pattern did you choose?

I didn't like anything at Fortunoff either- so I went directly to Mikasa. I got the Carleton pattern. Being a 'newbie' I would post it but I don't know how? I've got to read up on that. You can check they're website though. It was hard picking the China- I went to several different stores many times b/c there's so much to choose from.

My China is Wedgewood - India pattern and my every day dishes are from Villeroy and Back - Switch 3 Patteren

Lenox Hannah..and Solitaire by Lenox for my crystal. Both very understated and pretty!

Mystyeyed -

I chose Villeroy & Boch CITY LIFE for my everyday. Very minimalistic - very urban. I love it.

The formal CHINA is killing me. I have sort of settled on Wedgwood TRADITIONS - but I'm having second thoughts!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
