The fact that they often have some flaws, not only gives them character, but if you add another, it isn't the end of the world. Another chip or scratch goes with the rest of the flaws. I personally love to mix and match my pieces. This way you are not limited to just one pattern or style. This is easy to do with vintage and actually looks better than a "perfect set".

Another advantage to this is when, it always happens, something breaks, it is easier and cheaper to replace. You do not have to then search and pay a high price for that replacement piece.

At our house the kids like to actually set the table when they get to pick out which plate they want. The table looks beautiful and unique. We use the plates and other items on the back deck in the garden, no plastic in this house.

Vintage china is also more affordable and of better quality. You can start with a small collection and add as you see a piece or two. In this economy you want to get good quality for a fair price. Vintage china gives you that and a beautiful table setting in return.

It does not matter if you are having a cup of tea, pasta, salad or even a hot dog. Everything tastes better on china. Also knowing you didn't pay a fortune for it, always helps.
