I couldn't choose between the two, I live in Canada and my whole family live in the UK, both sets hold a special place in my heart! My grandma has the Spode Blue set and I remember it always making an appearance for 'special occasions' and my aunt has the Botanic Garden set that she uses every day. I can't wait to get back next year and see their beautiful tablescapes again. Thank you for the nostalgic video :)

The best video you have posted since you played your piece on the piano. I adore your cooking videos. Also love the music on this one. You are a breathe of refinement and strength of mind. I love the botanical table settings. Have you ever put a small bouquet of cut roses in a sphere like vase. Cut much of the stem so just 3 or 4 inches of the flower head sticks over top. Fill vase with warm water. This will blow the roses out. It may require a special type of rose. This creates a compact vase of roses with a beautiful effect. Do your research or call.a professional for how to advice. The technique is called full blown rose. This will mimic the look found in Victoria magazine.

I have a set of white dishes, and they can be used for any season by changing the napkins, decorations, etc.

She rarely uses them and I think it’s such a shame. In my opinion, you are missing out on the pleasure of dining with elegant table settings when you keep your “Good” china locked up, only to be looked at and not enjoyed on a regular basis.

I do like the blue spode but it is seen as a little 'old fashioned' by many in uk., and not in a good 'antique cottage style' way . It can be found easily and cheaply in second hand shops because it has gone out of favour . Also like portmeirion, I have a few pieces not a whole table setting. It mixes well with plain white crockery I think. Love your simple elegant flower arrangements.

Spode Blue Italian would be my choice of your two featured dishes. In Spring I set our table with a vintage set of Franciscan Desert Rose dinnerware. To be honest, I never put these away last Spring because we decided to try to keep a bit of Spring in our 2020! One year our little boy was so enamored with our Spode Christmas Tree dishes that he asked if we could use them all year and so we did that for him that year. 🌹 🎄 Have some fun with your dishes. :)
