Pfaltzgraff Pistoulet 40-Piece Dinnerware Set

This is a great looking set but at $179 it is not for every budget. We apartment dwellers, those of us who aren’t living in condos in Manhattan, can’t usually afford to spend nearly $200 on dinnerware; but personally, if spending $179 on dinnerware was something I could afford to do, this 40-piece Pistoulet dinnerware set by Pfaltzgraff would be a definite buy. It serves 8. Usually you won’t find 8 people living in an apartment. An 40-piece might be a few more pieces than needed, but you never know when you might hold a dinner party or some other event that brings multiple guests to your apartment.

The set includes [8] 10-3/4-inch dinner plates, [8] 9-inch salad plates, [8] 28-ounce soup/cereal bowls, [8] 8-ounce dessert bowls, and [8] 14-ounce mugs. The dishes are made of durable stoneware and are microwave, oven, freezer and dishwasher safe. The set comes with a 5-year warranty against defects. Want it?

If you indulge in ice cream these ice cream bowls are cute and affordable. Just $10 for a set of 4. The glazed stoneware bowls can also be used as cereal bowls or soup bowls if you’re not one to indulge in ice cream. They are microwave and dishwasher safe.

The same and very similar sango ice cream bowls also come in blue, gold dust, cocoa and a variety of other earthy colors.

Handcrafted porcelain vase charger lidded jar

I want these handcrafted porcelain pieces I saw on horchow.com; but to get them all will cost me $1297; so they’ll have to go on the wishlist for now.

The items description:

• Charger on stand, 24″Dia. x 3″D.
• Vase, 13″Dia. x 23″T.
• Lidded jar, 7″Dia. x 12″T.

I’m tempted to think when you live in an apartment you don’t spend $1297 on home decor items. $1297 can go a very long way at targets, Walmart or similar department stores. There are plenty of things that would make more sense to buy at this time. I’d be reluctant to spend $100 on a vase, lidded jar and charger right now so $1297 is definitely out of question; but a wish list is about things you wish you could have and maybe hope to be able to obtain some day, so I don’t mind putting the set on my virtual wish list.
