David and Peggy made family suppers an artistic experience as well as a time for family members to to get to know one another . Even with a fraction of their budget , I like following their mealtime example . Thanks for uploading 😊
This channel produces such professional, high quality content. I don't understand the lack of popularity.
Exactly, great videos.
It is a highly exquisite medium for the true connoisseurs and proponents of the art value and history… Who are the infinite minority always and everywhere… Alas…
Why be so preoccupied with the pleasures of others? If it is interesting to you, why be bothered with the life of someone else?
@@richardspikman7116 You might have missed the point here. I think that Spotthespy wants this beautiful content to become more massive, not because he is worried about others taste. Have a nice day =)
Right!!
I'm in love with all this kind of luxury porcelain stuff
So beautiful. I love dishes. I have about 6 sets that I use in rotation.
me too
I’m not rich by far and I live in an apartment. I eat off of porcelain and drink out of crystal everyday. Why not treat yourself like royalty? Who else is going to?
Same . I like to set the table (with napkins in napkin rings etc . . ) and sit down and eat too . David and Peggy have set a nice example for the budget-wise to follow .
I have all of that and I am not getting any younger. You have inspired me.
Same here. I use the British China my grandmother hid in a cabinet for 50 years. Also, because this style isn't popular with young people, you can find very expensive China in thrift stores!
I got my crystal glasses at Macy’s when they went on sale and my porcelain china I did indeed get from a thrift store. 😁
@@drinny26 Good thinking . I bet your table looks grand at mealtime .
I love fine porcelain I my self eat off of fine china everyday breakfast lunch and dinner I love it all I think I have 6 different services I would have to look at the ledgers for my dinning room to really make sure and I have luncheon services as well
Benjamin Ressler bravo ! I like beauty too !!!
rocio jurado I was interdicted to the fine porcelain when I was 3 years old when I asked when can I sit at the big boy table my grandmama said when I know how to set a table and sit at the table properly then I may do so I said okay
So that summer I spent with her and she showed me how to set the table for 75 people and she also taught me which peace is what and what it is used for same as the sterling that we ate with as well it’s a true treasure when you know what each peace is used for and it’s meaning that’s the way I look at it I enjoy it very much I know my father ounce told me that to lay your grandmamas table it’s up into the high hundreds of thousand mark
There’s about 18 peace’s to one of her place setting and that’s informal to her standards lol
I do hope your 6 service sets are inclusive of breakfast, lunch & dinner. My question is then why would you want just one luncheon service extra? Hope that grandmama doesn't know you eat off china & not porcelain.
LUREDADDY52 3 of them are porcelain. Imperial blue from Russia 18th century from Ireland and old country rose from England and I also have a service that was made for Marie Antoinette that’s only for display
LUREDADDY52 and all of my serves are for about 28 and each place setting has about 7 peace’s to them
Exquisitely Fascinating 👌
I'm starting to like you more and more Christie's! Keep up the good work!
Una habitación de comedor preciosa y no digamos esa mesa tan bien puesta, con esas vajillas, espectacular el conjunto y cada pieza por separado también. 😍😍🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏
Love bone China use only that each and every time. I don’t have ‘everyday dishes’ find using fine dishes a beautiful part of living
Most everyone has an appreciation of beautiful things.
I only just discovered that the dinner set I use daily is the same Tza Tza Gabor’s husband auctioned soon after she died ... and the same that was used in the serial Dynasty at Joan Collins’ home 🤣.
The extraordinarily beautiful and hand painted Wedgewood Florentine Turquoise 😍, patterns of which were, allegedly, drawn from Emperor’s Nero Domus Aurea in Rome where I was born 😬
I have some of that silver! Charity shop find💪🏽💪🏽
Good one .
Soy catalana.
Maravilloso. 🌼🌼🌼🙋
Fantastic
Beautiful
Sevre French porselen one of the best one .i wish had one
Corona got me here!🤣
Unfortunately the common people who were raised through WWII learned through hardships and when they could eventually strive to achieve, they held back, leaving it stored.
I despise the plate of the bird carrying the lamb away, but otherwise these are really neat!
Representative of the owners of the china.
amazing
Porcelain is beautiful, but it's all about the silver - silver, I say!
i collect porcelain plates , i love to look the design on them. and eat on them as well. they don't much , but they have a beauty on them when they are together
I just had my spaghetti in a big plastic bowl .... made in China.
It was yummy.
😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣love you for this comment
Goes to show that we have been buying buying things from china for centuries.
I watched the video and began to read the comments with the respect, solemnity and silence that one has when entering a museum. But when I came across your excellent comment, I was hopeless and had to laugh out loud ... I think you only need two things to eat: hunger and of course, food. Spaghetti with Bolognese Sauce tastes just as good whether served in a large Ming Dynasty Chinese porcelain bowl or a large Xi Jiping Dynasty Chinese plastic bowl
I put off paying my electricity bill so I could buy a porcelain dinner set. When I laid up the table they turned off my electricity. Whilst stumbling in the dark I bumped heavily onto the table and sent everything crashing on to the floor. 😕🙄 😂 🤣
The worst advice ever given is at approximately 3:19. I was noticing that some of these pieces look heavily worn and damaged even, and then this foolish curator gives the advice to take grandmother's china out of the cabinet and use it. Well, when you use it, you damage it with knife marks and the inevitable wear and tear and the unavoidable, occasional breakage. And, add to that the fact that it's probably not particularly healthful to eat off of dinnerware that was painted with paints that probably contained lead and other toxic elements, especially when said porcelain's paint is wearing off with use! .
It all must be washed by hand.
These things were meant to be used and enjoyed. What pleasure do they bring anyone at the back of a cupboard?
Nice . ,
HOLA ESTA HERMOSO TODO
SALUDOS A TODOS
DONDE PUEDO COMPRARLOS
SHALOM

Un seísmo sería fatal para la permanencia de éstas maravillas.
can someone tell me where the piece at 0:11 belongs to? it caught my eye
Awesome
Oh what a bunch of brother.
Eagle head handles
I also liked them very much.
The sign of Roman Empire, ect.
These must have been very cold people, they bought so much porcelain made from Cornish clay, which is what most toilet bowls are made of-the famille rose is fabulous and definitely isn't harsh or very white. My favourites: Sevres, Dresden, Meissen, Chelsea and Italian Rococo, especially figural. There's a Sevres Museum in Paris and the Queen's Chelsea is fabulous and not so icey-cold English toilet bowl style.
la porcelaine de sevres,la plus jolie au monde,porcelaine royale de france
splendide
I was drawn to the beauty of the dishes and I love perusing antique and second hand stores. They are truly treasure chests, you just have to take your time and appreciative the 🎁 gifts. Obviously when you are very monetarily affluent, you can invest in these objets d’art as a passionate hobby. Every HUman has an interest in some aspect of Beauty in the world, but most NEVER have an opportunity to express this interest.
However, the families such as the Rockefeller’s, Rothschilds , Vanderbilts, etc and those in many of the families in Europe took, stole and made their fortunes via Slavery; Diamond and Gold mining and owning factories in which historically child labor was used and abused. So, when we admire their taste of entertaining and their collections of things, remember that simultaneously countless people gave their blood, sweat, tears and lives so that these families for generations to come, enjoyed the fruits of other people’s PAIN!
We are now creating a NEW Earth 🌍 where there is Abundance for ALL in ways which are for their Highest and Greatest Good! There is Balance in ALL Things. We are releasing giving our Power to Others, speaking our Truth ad Honoring that we came to Mother Earth to Create Heaven on Earth. Unfortunately there is so much coming to the surface which has been anchored and hidden in the dense energies. This is to Awaken Us, so that Our Beloved Planet NEVER has to experience this again.
Can you imagine having lived their lives?
Horrible lives of excess and fear of assassination and kidnapping. Nothing great about the everyday life of the super wealthy.
The gold & green or ones with flowers really pretty!! Don't like the bats!!
0:13 sec in and of course there is a Devil on Rockefeller's china :D so funny :D
It’s pretty but art pieces at this point, nobody buying these are going to eat off them.
Do you think they ate their KFC off of "appropriate" 18th century porcelain???
I only liked the piece at 0:38
Every else looked kinda cheap to me, because it was too mixed too much.
Shoulders of Giants Img 0.38 was ny favourite piece too! Gorgeous colours and design!
Elegant undulating contours and refreshing juicy colors at 0:38!
Shoulders of Giants cheap ? are you out of good taste
Yet most people in the world eat off paper plates
IF they eat at ALL, thanks to the Rottenfesters...
@@ludastout2852 Cupids. The word you're reaching for is *cupids.*
That is such a lazy, wasteful habit.
vsboy 25 not really.
아주 멋찌고 아름답습니다~^
Some like their art obscene.
Very evil people.
Her "verbal fry" is very irratating
David Rockefeller Jr is a architect.
David Rockefeller Sr. is the architect of the September 11th attacks.
Curator's "Quirky Humor"???? A bird of prey carrying off a kitten? Cherubs tormenting nuns? Both curator AND Rockefellers utterly strange. Commission porcelain with a dead baby motif.
Don't miss the painting of the naked little girl that hung proudly above the fireplace in their New York home... the Rottenfesters are sickening satanists.
ROFLMAO! I'm scrolling down looking for this comment! Money sure can't buy taste and not all art is good art. I've seen way better China. And I've also seen some Italian tea sets with both dragons and cherubs. Wonder who was getting tortured by whom!
So a porcelain expert is suggesting us to use our grandparents' old China instead of keeping it in a glass cabinet out of fear they will completely destroy decades of heirloom?
schnadee if you do t use it what true worth is it ,it’s only pieces not appreciated when locked away
I do everyday
rocio jurado, agreed. Culture has been poorly passed do, in general. Some family's still uphold family value traditions. Getting together for meals, and visit. It is become less and less common.
I have white porcelain with gold and tea roses dining set made in Japan. But it's in my mum's home in Europe. Also nice vases and tea sets. The problem is how to bring it across the pond. If anyone is interested, let me know.
but of course you use it i do everyday. why have it if you aren't going to use it and enjoy?. I have about six sets of dinnerware and switch off on them. love eating at my table.
If they appreciated beauty they'd know God Almighty & not the filthy shine of the god of money.
i wish to be born on this filthy rich family on my next life
Suggest you research heavily what you wish for. Them and the Rothschild are the most evil, greedy, corrupt crime families ever to exist. Founders of The New World Order.
Rockefeller?Are u kidding me.??
I am sure they are not without their problems .
Lead glazing! Be careful about using Grandma's china!
What’s with the crackly voice? It’s so off putting and unpleasant and so yesterday. Stop it. Vocal frazzle I think they called it and it was like the tattoo craze, of the voice.
today people is dead ,no live for beauty anymore ,only tablets ,tvs ,electric appliances,plstic dishes etc etc etc no to mention the customary leather corner sofas ,the worst taste in history ,oh I forgot paper napkins ,and very plain and put the coke bottle on the table ,mustard a katchupp ,I wonder if is lack of spirituality ? I think so ,love for one is love for others ,of course there is allways the esepcion of the rule....but be poor in spirit is the real poverty ....
the money socked from the blood of everyone. no one askes where all this money comes from.
Parvaneh Showrai It came from organizing a business that delivered oil to consumers and was instrumental in building the wealthiest country in history with the biggest opportunities, the most security, for the largest no. of people. No blood was involved. If you want to live in backward country, then America is not for you.
Looks all overcooked. I eat from plain white China. Don’t like my food mixed up with wired inappropriate images. Commoners.
Nah i'll stick to paper plates.
