That was a good period; I got a couple of “earthy” pieces, which are my favorites.
A while back, we bought some china storage things for a move - they’re these fabric cylinders that zip closed - and they came with some sort of nylon separator disks. They’ve turned out to be fantastic for storage of the things we use less, and we use those cheap-ass separators everywhere except the day-to-day flatware. What luck! I’d have not come up with the idea myself.
Did you inherit any favorite pieces? We got a full china set with silver chasing; Mikasa, so I don’t think it’s particularly antique, and although we almost never use it I absolutely love the coffee set. The cup shapes are simple bowls with handles, and the silverwork is subtle and elegant. They’re a joy to look at; if we entertained, I’d have them out all the time.
