You were trusted with fancy ceramics? We just got mass produced plain stuff.
I had a great aunt that worked for Syracuse China, which during the mid-20th century was one of the largest suppliers of fine China to hotels and restaurants. Whenever someone in the family got married, they got a full set of fine expensive Syracuse China. Most family members also bought a cheaper set for daily use. So I never had Corelle as a kid.
Today, after all these years, the grandkids all have their own set, passed down from older generations, and my mom still has about 4 full sets she's inherited over the years. Anytime someone visits by car, she tries to convince them to take a set. They are beautiful antique china, but who needs fine China these days?
Before anyone suggests selling it, nobody is buying, and even the china brokers are backing off and buying much much less. The fine china market is glutted, and pretty much dead, even for excellent collections like ours.

See I say I'm a Virgo as an excuse for my behaviour, but maybe it's just that I grew up with 5.
Several, my mother hits garage sales like Jager at a frat party
Holy shit! #6 unlocked some memories that have been hidden away deep in my subconscious for at least 20 years.
You should see that person with the chicken feet pattern.
7 and my great gma had 5.
Edit: so a ton of ya"ll had 7? Who knew...
7 as well. Super nostalgia seeing that patern again.. i wonder if they still sell it.
I have one 7 plate in the kitchen right now, I barely ever use it. Just like having it around…
Never had any correlle until I was in my 40s and none of those patterns were it
#5 for me, i wish I could find a set for my home
Gram had #4
#8 And as a sidenote I took them as hand-me-downs and only stopped using them this year.
Indian here! We have steel.
But given how common crockery or similarly decorated plastic is for serving guests (at parties and wherever-not), I've seen all of them.
So, instead of the unique astrological profile, nor even the mere sun sign for a mere 1 in 12 division, we're now to discern more about us each, from just 10 different patterns on plates? Oh yes, that'll be much better. My whole family are exactly alike. The plates don't lie. :3
