I'm in the market for a new set of china plates etc.

However, what happens is one of many parts will get broken or at least
chipped badly in just a few years.

Does anyone sell long life designs - nothing fancy, plain is good
(thinking hotels and restaurants must demand sets that they can get
new parts for?)

Try a catering range from Nisbets

https://www.nisbets.co.uk/tableware-...ockery/_/a33-2

They have a shop in Shaftesbury Avenue, or the mail order service is good.




Thank you

I've also found Wedgewood mentioned elsewhere as being able to get
spares for at least some of their ranges long after. Some ranges have
eye watering prices, but some less so. We're simple folk - we don't need
a soup bowl, pasta bowl and cereal bowl - one type does us just fine. 2
plates, one small for cakes and toast, one full sized for dinner. Cups
and mugs and job done... That's the problem with the random hotchpotch
of crap we have now - it's stuff from several different sets, nothing
matches, nothing stacks well due to varying sizes and types, takes up a
huge amount of space as a result.
