Bone China, Porcelain, Stoneware, Earthenware, Glass Dinnerware, and even Outdoor Dinnerware. They make it quite impossible to chose one set of everyday dishes to put on the Wedding Registry. So many options. We want something practical and usable, no pruney dishwater hands for us on an every day basis. No huge flowers or excessive use of platinum or gold. But not simple white either. Currently we are registered for the Lenox Flair Pattern. As the search for another option continues, I stumbled across the lime green glass Erin Dinnerware at Crate & Barrel. Some might call it fate with the lime color and the name, but they're just too much.Today I visited the River Market Antique Mall, a new favorite place in Kansas City. Sadly, I was shopping for work, not pleasure, but I will go back. Gift certificates are available if you're looking for a unique gift not on the registry. I find vintage dinnerware much more interesting than patterns I've found at Macy's, Crate & Barrel or any other popular options. Pyrex is the newest obsession. Such vibrant colors and awesome graphic patterns.
Pyrex Love is a blog dedicated to vintage Pyrex. On the blog, you can search by dish type, pattern or color. Below a detailed description and history of the pattern, there are links to specific pieces on Ebay. I just might need the book: PYREX: The Unauthorized Collector's Guide. Very impressive site.Another option for the wedding guest who's looking for a rare gift for the happy couple (okay, Jerrod wouldn't really care if you got us vintage Pyrex, but he'd enjoy what I cooked in it).
