Who likes this China?

http://www.royaldoulton.com/website/prod...


I've searched all the engines for "fine china" or "bone china" but I haven't found anything super. I love Royal Albert's Moonlight Rose, but its not available close to me or online (at a reputable dealer). I love this pattern, but fiance isn't crazy about it. I can't believe how much time I'm spending on finding a pattern- ah. So, please recommend sites if you dont like this one.

Who likes this China?
I love it! its GORGEOUS!
Reply:it is considered an extremely feminine design. have you looked at lenox designs?
Reply:It is very feminine, but thats just my thoughts on it. It should reflect you and your fiance and you should both agree on it.





Try Macy's They sell Lenox as the person before me suggested which is a fine line of China and they also have many more.

Reply:You really must agree on a pattern, this is something the two of you will be using for many years to come. This one is very feminine, which is probably why your fiance doesn't care for it.





Try going to one of the nicer department stores in your area and see what you two like. I don't know where you are, but Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Nordstrom's - all have china.





Good luck!
Reply:I think it's lovely, but I can see why your guy doesn't like it, it's pretty feminine and fussy.


Maybe go with a classic silver border on white - and then you can mix patterned serving pieces.

Reply:it is too lady like and i dont blame your fiance for not liking it either. i agree with the person who posted above me also.
Reply:Just my opinion, but it's really matronly looking. The dusty rose %26amp; the flowers are just . . . so Grandma.





Have you looked at Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Saks, Macy's . . . maybe something your fiance would like more as well. It could just be my taste because I like clean lines and bold patterns, but I'm a girl and that's WAY too feminine for me.





If you really want flowers, could you do it a bit bolder

Reply:I'm sorry, I do not like that china. I can't imagine a man ever liking it or anything like it. If you really like that china, why not get a teapot and tea cups and maybe some dessert plates for when you have female guests?





For dinnerware, why don't you try looking at Macy's for white or platinum/gold banded china. It's much more gender neutral.

Reply:DO NOT choose a pattern that your fiance does not like!! This is so foofey and girlie...get something a bit more sophisticated...this is what little old ladies who live alone choose
Reply:It isn't my style (a little old ladyish), but if your fiance doesn't like it, I think it is out.





Here is a more subtle pink pattern:

This is as ornate as the one you picked, but not pink so a less girlie:

A less overwhelming floral:

Bright colors like the one you picked, but more modern:
