Alrighty- apparently I totally scored at the vintage store today and got a two person set of Easterling china in the celestial pattern (very pretty) for about oh.... 1/8th of what it would cost piece by piece at ReplacementsLtd.com.
So, i've never had "nice" dishware before... what should I do with this stuff? I assume not put it in the dishwasher, but... how careful should I be with it? it's so delicate seeming... it's in PRISTINE condition too, so I don't want to ding it. It's got a band of silver around the top rims of the teacups and around the plates... and Easterling is apparently out of buisness so I can't ask them....
SO I thought I'd ask you guys... sorry if this is a little disjointed!
