Tableware Dishes

How to select everyday dinnerware?

Cooking is my hobby and I like to experiment with different plating and presentations. The kids are now all teenagers – mostly past dropping and breaking dishes. Therefore, I’ve decided to replace our everyday dishes with plain white, rolled-rimmed, upscale restaurant-style porcelain tableware. I definitely will buy dinner plates and luncheon plates. I’m undecided about salad plates, dessert plates, bread plates, soup bowls, soup cups, and chargers. I can’t buy all of them – they wouldn’t fit in my cupboards! If I buy nappy bowls, can they replace soup bowls and salad plates? Somewhere I read that you might use glass dessert plates instead of china to create interest/variety. Good idea or bad?
