Remember way back when I told you guys about how hard it was for Mr Frenchie and I to nail down our everyday plates?
Now, Jonathan Adler has threatened to add another plate into the debate! I would LOVE to “try white on white for an uptown vibe with graphic zing”, pleeeease.
Sadly the price is a little steep and I don’t know how I would register for Jonathan Adler. If price wasn’t an issue, what would your dream china be?

The Anna ii looks exactly like the Martha Stewart ones we got at Macys, I love them! Even the teacup is the same!
We actually aren’t registering for China! We have great everyday plates from Wal-Mart and while it owuld be nice, we would have nowhere to put it and nothing to use it for. Kind of jealous since I am now in love with the white-on-white… If I could register for anything and get it all, I’d totally register for something like that! (And then a 2nd house to put all our new stuff in! 
LOL)
I still love the Maddison best — good luck with your tough choice!
I’m in love with the Maddison, I think it’s my favourite out of the choices you’ve shown us.
I have to agree with Miss Bruschetta … I really love the Maddison. It’s so fresh and clean looking. The white on white’s nice … but you’ve got something going with the Maddison.
OMg the white on white is great! I already have family heirloom Ironstone, but I bit the bullett and registered for the entire set of Waterford Lismore… i want it soooo bad!
If money wasn’t an issue, I still wouldn’t register for china. I’m going to register for more table settings of our Corelle Memphis pattern. They match our kitchen and have a fun pattern. I get really excited when we have people over!
I love the Maddison, too!
I like the Anna II or Crate and Barrels “Pearl” as Everydayware. I love our Fine China pick however, Wedgewood Nottingham. Or Monique Llhuilliers Etoile. I love china.
We registered for ridiculous Monique Lhuillier china. 12 sets. It was $125 a place setting. We loved it. While we were on the phone with FI’s mom telling her how to spell Lhuillier so she could look it up online, I did a google search and stumbled upon Royal Doulton’s Great Briton site. Our dinnerware was marked down to 72% off even after shipping from the UK and currency conversion (the dollar was at a high that week against the pound, double luck!). And not a single plate arrived broken. So I bought all 12 sets and 12 soup bowls for under $700 and we unregistered for it. We couldn’t ask our guests to spend $2,500 on the same thing we just found for $700!
Pick the bone china over the porcelain. Bone china is much more durable and as long as it doesn’t have metallic, it can go in the dishwasher. I grew up using bone china and not a single plate that mom had shipped in 40+ years. I like the Anna 2. Might be more expensive, but if you have to keep replacing things (unless you want to), it’s really not worth it. I’d get frustrated if I ended up with some broken stuff and was left with an incomplete set.
I love the Madison. I am into very clean, modern, sleek design so our home definitely skews this way. I just found out that they are opening a Jonathan Adler store a few blocks from us in Brooklyn. I will be doing a lot of looking but no touching. 
Honestly, you can’t go wrong with either!
I like Anna. The Jonathan Adler ones are cute, but you might get tired of them faster.
My fiance and I were in Le Gnome the other day and fell in love with Vera Wang’s dishes. My fiance is a big fan of smooth “elegant” lines and muted colours, and I just love the itty bitty bowls (eee!). Of course, Vera is ex-pen-sive, and we’re a ways off from determining what we’ll get (by which point I’m sure this particular set of dinnerware will be discontinued, wahh!)…but still. *sigh* Loved them.
I like the Anna II ones above…but if you’re going for a sleek, modern design for your home, then Madison’s the one to get!
Can you mix and match? Maybe just register for the salad plates of the white-on-white? Just an idea!!
I like Anna. And I like Greyr56’s idea of just registering for the salad plates from Jonathan Adler. We did that with some blue Pottery Barn plates and I love how it adds a pop of color to our C&B everyday china! (We ended up picking the white pearl set. I’m a sucker for polka dots!).
Those white on whites are awesome! But if you’re looking for a more classic look, I’d go with the Anna.
The white on white are so delicately chic. Absolutely love them!

I work full time for a Commercial General Contractor (aka my father) and I go to school for Interior Design at night.
