Dishes From The Past

I collect teapots and I was amazed at the selection of teapots the they have. I was able to find a Wedgewood teapot that I could afford and that was different from any that I had.

My Mother had always had her set of crystal that I remembered from childhood. I had no idea of the manufacturer or pattern name and didn't pursue this until after her passing. Dishes from the Past was able to help me identify the crystal. I was so thrilled and it was also possible for me to replace missing pieces. What a treasure I now have and Dishes From the Past made this possible.

I was about to get married and it didn't even occur to me to register for china and crystal until my mother insisted. I looked all over town, but it all looked the same. How much white with platinum trim can a girl take! It was all boring! Then on our way to get lunch I saw the sign for Dishes From The Past. I thought it was unlikely that they would have a Bridal Registry, but went in. I agree with the other post.. their displays are wonderful. Everything had color!! Guess what? They do have bridal registry! They offer the new stuff as well, but I headed to the back. For a girl that didn't even consider china, I couldn't decide which pattern I liked best! After talking it out with the girls there and hearing the up sides and down sides of everything, I knew what I wanted. I chose a pattern that worked on 3 levels. I had my everyday set, but then I switch out the salads and add a Christmas pattern for the holidays, and a more fall/autumn pattern for Thanksgiving. I have a beautiful table year round! Thanks Dishes!

I had a set of dishes that I had inherited from my grandmother. They were lovely, but pieces had been broken and I didn't have enough plates to serve my entire family. I knew of Dishes From The Past but before now had never needed to shop there. Walking in you are completely blown away with their displays! They are so beautifully put together and I noticed how they were mixed and matched. I showed the sales lady my pattern. She explained how they didn't have it and without any markings it would be hard to find anywhere. Then she began to show me pattern after pattern that brightened and updated my pattern. I could have a completely different look. One that was more, me! It was so much fun to go home and set my table that day. Now I just keep my dining room table set year round! I can't thank them enough.
