I don't know if you saw on my blog, but my mom offered to give me her set. I never expected that, but I'm thrilled! I'm assuming you found my blog through my mom, Connie Akers, who is also a fiber artist. If not, it would be even more of a coincidence.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05947101024644713138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-65690655477556943572009-02-28T08:22:00.000-08:002009-02-28T08:22:00.000-08:00I got married in 1970 also and chose stoneware ove...I got married in 1970 also and chose stoneware over china...even picked the same pattern of cutlery...Bedford by Lauffer. I loved that pattern for years. But my dishes were a Denby "Langley" pattern which I added to from garage sales. I also picked glassware to match, but I never liked it.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17578860207354335199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-70319727672918462622009-02-27T11:48:00.000-08:002009-02-27T11:48:00.000-08:00I think my mother was put off by having to pick 'c...I think my mother was put off by having to pick 'china' back in the early 1940's. She picked a really simple white with gold trim set, but probably wanted something like you have. She didn't like having to do the dishes by hand!<BR/><BR/>I suppose being artists, both parents, living in Berkeley, CA, and loving chairs by Eames, probably had a lot to do with the choice.Vicky aka Stichrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02398784887410187456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-51734399039485475922009-02-27T05:27:00.000-08:002009-02-27T05:27:00.000-08:00I too, married in 1975, chose stoneware over china...I too, married in 1975, chose stoneware over china.

The last of the linens when to Salvation Army this past summer - lasting 20 years longer than the marriage!

I collected blue chinese cups and plates and wanted them to be all different, but still matching.Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03005517826999307074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-3264665338247790392009-02-25T22:50:00.000-08:002009-02-25T22:50:00.000-08:00Mine are the blue-rimmed Dansk Bistro; similar to ...Mine are the blue-rimmed Dansk Bistro; similar to yours but without the speckles. I think they're of a slightly later vintage, because my first-marriage dishes, dating from around the time you and Ray got married, were solid dark blue Waechtersbach, also very cool and modern in their way. Then-husband got custody of the china when we split up, and I got the flatware -- Dansk Variation V, which I still own and love and use every day.Revalanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15523121402264988240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-81589663098331225062009-02-25T21:21:00.000-08:002009-02-25T21:21:00.000-08:00It's a beautiful set.It's a beautiful set.Just Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15008462659487802315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-8121114649901061782009-02-25T21:13:00.000-08:002009-02-25T21:13:00.000-08:00It is a shame that Dansk company is falling apart....It is a shame that Dansk company is falling apart.
