my every day china. I got divorced about 15 years ago. I'd used the wedding china many times over the years for various special occasions. After the divorce and my move to another part of the country I'd bought myself new everyday china. After a few years I realized that there was no one to pass the good china to (one son, not married, not ever likely to marry) and so it may as well see lots of use as long as I am alive.
I am so very glad I made that decision. I always loved the china. And now, using it every day (I passed the old dishes on to someone else) is just perfect.
And here is what it looks like. I still love the pattern after 40 plus years.
It's Royal Doulton, and this pattern is called Tonkin.
I am very aware that the younger generation has almost no interest in things like this, which is why I want to use it every day for the rest of my life. I do hope that eventually, however far in the future that might be, someone else will think this is wonderful and want to own and use it.
