    Is looking at china patterns making anyone else's head spin?  The funny thing is FI and I aren't sure if we are going to register for fine china at all...but, we've narrowed it down to these two patterns.  One is my top pick, the other is his.  So, bee's - what's your favorite between these two:

    The first 2 pics are: Platinum Crown by Mikasa

    The second 2 pics are: Crestwood Platinum by Noritake

    I like both!  They are both nice and classic.  I feel like the 2nd one is a bit more distinctive though, so that's what I voted for, #2.

    Ooh, tough choice! I think I like the Noritake a little better, but they are similar enough that I couldn't tell you exactly why. :)

    I like the 2nd better Laughing my silly reasons are below Tongue out

    • i prefer the shape of the coffee mug
    • i prefer the shape of the large soup/pasta bowl
    • you have more functional pcs with the second one (i think it has a couple more plates)

    I like the Mikasa better. But I've always been partial to Mikasa.

    Now you know why I'm so confused!! 

    I really like the teacup shape of one of the patterns - which is what makes it my fav.

    FI really likes the design of the band on one of the patterns - which makes it his fav.

    I also think one is more timeless than the other (obviously, the one I like) and the other one seems a bit more dated.

    Any other votes?

    Oooh, I voted for 2 and i meant 1.

    Picking china is sooo hard. One day, I just found our china. FI liked it, I liked it, BAM! Done! haha. (We already had gone through 2 different china patterns at that point, too!)

    i picked #2 because of the teacup shape and i like that the design is "lighter" for lack of a better word.

    I think both are great.  I voted for the Mikasa; I like the teacup.
