For whatever reason - supposedly for the kid's "hope chest" - I spent $5 on a box of dishes last week. About 6 place settings, with extra plates. It's a British pattern, and so pretty. If the offspring doesn't want it, I'll use it myself.
It's a pattern called Hedgerow, made in England. Blackberries and flowers.
For the bargain price of $5, we got 12 large plates, 11 medium plates (salad plates?), 4 smaller plates, 12 saucers, 9 teacups, and 4 bowls.
