And so what? I'll not use this stuff much more. No one appreciates it and I'm damn sure not going to leave it to ingrates.
Maybe you and I should have dinner at a 20' long table each at the opposite head.
BTW, which is the head of the table in a formal setting? I'm thinking the end closest to the pantry door. And the other would be called the "foot"? Appropriate as the wife would sit there.  |
Whichever is closest to the Kitchen, cause I gotta serve...
The Ansley Regency was equivalent to Minton..a Grand a place setting and the Adler was running 1200 a place setting ..The Adler Water Pitcher about 3K...
I also picked up a set of Wedgewood Black Diamond ..as a secondary set..made only for the Japanese market..
But like U who cares anymore...it is all packed away since I moved to LV... I still like the Adler, Porter Blanchard stuff because of the handcrafted aspect.. I have a Porter Blanchard Tea Service Colonial Revival at 194 oz..never seen a set since..coulda been Baba Streisands...since the the place I got it from had on occasion her anonymous consignments.
I now use Mom's CA made Francisican Ware Desert Rose from the 50's as my everyday..
Now I only mess around with da spoons...
