When we registered for china three years ago, I knew I wanted something that was timeless. I've always loved the idea of white textured china which is why I registered for Wedgewood Edme. It is dishwasher safe, and if it breaks, or if I need more, I can simply add other white textured pieces to my collection of china.
The other day, J was searching craigslist for a buffet (another story all together) and he came across 4 sets of Wedgewood Edme for only $40! He sent me the link and I instantly jumped on it. Because the plates were purchased in the 1980's, they were a bit worn, but the pattern was the same. The major difference was the size between 2009's Edme and 1980's. You'll be amazed.... But first a major shout out to J for finding this awesome deal! Yay J!

Okay, on to business. Here is the 1980's edme tea cup......

| it is Wedgewood |
And a side by side comparison to the cup I was given in 2009!

And now for the dinner plate comparison. I'll let you guess this one....

I don't really mind the size difference, but it does amaze me how large our portions (even in coffee and tea) has grown in 30 some years - it really does speak volumes to the obesity epidemic our country is now facing. I wonder how large our plates will be in 2030? Perhaps dish companies should revert back to smaller plates to curb these growing appetites?
