And that means that you should consider what foods you serve, before you consider your personal style or the style of your dining room furniture. It's not a matter of ignoring your personal style, but it's a matter of considering the food first, then the living style. And definitely pick a pattern that you can easily match with table linens and serving pieces. This advice will keep you happy with your first china pattern choice for a lifetime.This Lenox pattern, Sugar Pointe by Kate Spade, is one of those timeless patterns. The trim is platinum, which--somehow, with this pattern--seems very bright and shiny. And the white is very white and bright--not egg shell. It is a plain pattern with a bit of fanciful curves working to keep it from being a "stark" pattern.I can't picture a food that this pattern will clash with.This pattern is easily match-able--from flatware, to the odd serving piece, to table linens. The bright white will easily take to contrasting color pieces as well.Lenox china is beautifully delicate, yet it is strong. I've used Lenox for decades, so I speak from much experience. It does not immediately chip from a ding from a kitchen sink faucet or lead crystal goblet. Sharp knives do not leave marks. It's always been an American company, and I think most of the dinnerware is still made in America.
