I have been watching several videos since discovering your channel. Your knowledge is so broad! I little story here....I grew up wanting to drink tea and coffee only from my grandmother English porcelain collection, which she kept for special occasion.So, I was prohibited from using it until finally, at age 12, I just started to " invite" my grandmother to have tea or caffe latte with me ! I proved that I could care for all these beautiful cups and saucers so I was finally granted permission! Such fond memories. So now I use daily Villeroy & Bosh Anmut, beautiful, clean white bone porcelain, very versatile, but for special , and not so special occasions, I use Christofle Madison 6, which I absolutely love.
Thank you I appreciate you watching. I can relate to your story having gone through something similar. I have incredibly fond memories of my grandmother and miss her dearly. Snap that’s makes two of us except anmut is my every day and special occasions! However, I’m on the look out for an alfresco dinner set. Here is to many more memorable ad fun meals with your Christofle dinnerware.
Thank you for all the information! I just bought real dinnerware and I am enjoying it so much more than I expected. The number of brands had me so confused that I narrowed it down by sentimental reasons. My mother and my grandmother used Rosenthal Maria so I stuck with that brand which was a little pricey for me. I chose Rosenthal Thomas Loft so I could afford to get 2 dozen. I like that I can enjoy it every day and dress it up for big family dinners.
You are welcome and well done! There are a tonne of brands to wade through but if you know the quality indicators then you will be fine. Thomas Loft is beautiful in its simplicity and the snow white colour. Long may you enjoy all the wonderful dinner parties you will have with it!
Awesome video! I enjoyed watching. I wish you mentioned Christofle. It’s one of my favourite brands for flatware. Also, dior and versace are popular for high end tableware. Baccarat is great for glasses.
@@SoAnesu Which range from hermes is your personal favourite? I know you mention mosaïque au 24. Do you like the Hdeco or balcon ranges? Which might you suggest?
Thank you... Dior and Versace produce beautiful looking tableware but I was focused on brands that only produce tableware as that says something about the quality...more than brands that produce tableware in addition to other products... bravo for finding the other videos.
I enjoy Villeroy and boch, Wedgwood, Spode, for more expensive china Paragon is my all time favorite but is so pricey and not manufactured anymore. Noritake is a wonderful brand. After War War II many Anericans got rid of all their China from Asia but it was heavily bought so there is a ton in America. They make lovely fine china but doesn't get the love it should in the United States. I have geard it us becoming collectible in the Asian market.
I have noticed quite a few of my American viewers like Noritake. I’ll need to track it down next time I’m in the US. Villeroy and Boch is a wonder brand! I cannot get enough of it.
Thank you so much for this informational content. I really appreciate the thorough critique of each brand. I am currently looking for good quality brands. I prefer brands that will last years and live up to its name no matter the cost. I’m going to watch your cutlery video next!
Thank you for a great overview of all the levels of dinnerware. I had no prior knowledge to this. Since eat and drink everyday, it'd be nice to wine & dine on something that improves the overall enjoyment. However, you have spoiled me with the high-tier, such as Hermes. Perhaps I shall work my way up. Cheers!
I’m glad you liked it and thank you for watching. I’m happy I’ve spoilt you life is too short live the good life and work your way up! You will thank me later!
You are welcome and thank you for watching. I would place both brands very comfortably within the mid tier although a couple of ranges from Dibbern are on the pricier end similar to Wedgewood which has a sold mix of top end and mid tier ranges but not quite in the dizzy heights of Hermes or Bernadaud for example.
Can you do a video where you advise brides on what to add to their registry? I don't know anything. I know I want a set of china of some kind. Hermes is not in the budget though.
We use Bone China from Noritake brand. It’s very easy to clean the food stains don’t really stick to it. What do you think of Poggenpohl kitchen brand, is it Top end of the spectrum in your book?
Designs are nice, but what brand would you recommend that is hard to break? About 20 years ago I bought some Jamie Oliver Royal Worcester plates and bowls, which is my main focus, I dropped 1 or 2 of the small plates and regular size bowls on concrete about 3 times, they didn’t even crack in the slightest, unfortunately the moving company lost them. Durability is my main focus, what would you recommend?
There seems to be a lot of Noritake out there... I havent personally heard of them before, nor have I seen their pieces in person (And I wont, as the area in which I live tends to feature Martha Stewart home housewares) but I found a pattern of theirs that I quite like- and they have decent online reviews..🤷♂️What do you think? The prestige aspect does matter a bit less to me than it does to many, but I also don't want to invest in junk when I could have a Villeroy and Boch set for the same price...
Noritake is a Japanese brand I’ve heard of them a couple of times and seen a few pieces. What do I think, if you like the design go for it but if prestige matters then your more established and well known crockery brands think Bernadaud, Meissen, Haviland, Herend for example
@@SoAnesu Ah.. prestige. The thing that motivates people to put Cadillacs in their driveway and skip buying their children shoes. Unfortunately brand fetishes often serve to impoverish those who can ill afford them. Very sad that our emphasis on the superficial extravagances has such a detrimental effect on the economically disadvantaged.
Ah that’s the funny thing about life, from the minute you wake up to the minute you put your head down to sleep, it’s made up of a series of choices defining your day and cumulatively shaping your life - good or bad - depending on who’s critiquing. Regardless one should be allowed to live their life how they choose without constant fear of judgment. Please feel free to not watch my content if it riles your sensibilities.
Wow! Way out of my league. I should be so fortunate to worry about such things as super high-end dinner ware. Most of what I eat is wrapped in paper and eaten on the couch. 🤣
I was surprised that Royal Copenhagen was not included in your list. Love the lace blue and since it has no gold on the pattern the young ones getting married tell me they prefer it to my "100 year old gold edge Lenox".
@@SoAnesu ok and you know what, excuse my request i thought about it and i know youre probrably busy. if you can list off a few brands for me to look up that would be fine too
apologies again. i just saw your two year old video that list the brands Online retailers Grunwerg Wayfair Nisbet Amara Studio William Brands Mid tier Villeroy and Boch Arthur Price Luxury Carrs Christofle Puiforcat Odiot

You are welcome - thank you for watching. It always pays to buy quality.
I use Bernardaud every day! I love their simple Palmyre and Louvre collections, mixed with the Constance pattern.
Music to my ears. Bravo!
Great combination. I can imagine how elegant it looks mixing the different ranges.
@@SoAnesu thank you. I wish I could afford a full set of the Constance pattern, but it is quite expensive.
@@DD-d6d3 how about buying bit by bit until you acquire the desired quantity?
@@SoAnesu great minds think alike! I have started with the salad plates and teacups that I can use as a dessert set after dinner.
Ha! You can say that again!

As an American, I have to chime in and say Lenox.. Lenox is beautiful....
It is and they have so many options. Literally something for everyone.
We use Bone China from Noritake brand. It’s very easy to clean the food stains don’t really stick to it.
What do you think of Poggenpohl kitchen brand, is it Top end of the spectrum in your book?
I would say they are definitely luxury not quite top end think super premium or ultra high end but comfortably premium core.
@@SoAnesu would you rate Siematic and Dada alongside Poggenpohl?
Siematic yes but not Dada.
@@SoAnesu I think Dada is a level above them!
You said it!
Designs are nice, but what brand would you recommend that is hard to break?

I don’t know a brand that is hard to break
Have you spoken to Royal Worcester about alternate ranges or collaborations that may work for you?
Gréât content do u have ur own magazine!?
Thank you! How I wish but I’m a one woman band and I can only just about manage to create content weekly!
I love Rosenthal 😊
Hi Anesu. Are all Villeroy and Boch cutlery 18/10? Looking at their Piemont collection. Thank you
At their level I would imagine so. Nice and simple style. I hope you will enjoy many good meals with your cutlery.
@@SoAnesu thank you 🙂
great review 🌸 what do you think about Michael Aram’s collection?
Thank you. I think it’s interesting I like the handcrafted nature of the style and paint work at a ‘good’ price - which is relative!

“Wrapped in paper” takes me back to a teenage day trip to Brighton that ended with fish and chips on the pier.
oh i thought you were gonna show your collection live🥀
What gave you that impression?
Herend is not on your list?
It is! Did you watch the video? It autocorrected in the video to Herond but it’s there.
Love Hermes dinner ware
You can say that again!
I was surprised that Royal Copenhagen was not included in your list. Love the lace blue and since it has no gold on the pattern the young ones getting married tell me they prefer it to my "100 year old gold edge Lenox".
There are hundreds of brands to choose from I unfortunately cannot cover all of them. It’s just not physically possible.
와~~~
Thank you!

Le Crueset is primarily focused on pots, pans and casserole pots. This is a dinnerware video. Two different product groups…
It's "Wedgwood" - no e
I am aware - thank you.
Meissen, not Missen. Rosendahl ( i like Grand Cru ) for everyday use.
That’s how it’s spelt. Thank you for watching.

Not me sin.
