What Sort of Tableware Do You Present to Your Guests
Are you a considerate, house-proud host a slacker student or a tightwad? You can tell an awful lot about a person from the quality of their crockery and tableware.
I have a dear old friend who works as a teacher but he has never gotten to grip with housework or the importance of cleanliness. He serves tea and coffe in horribly stained mugs that should be consigned to the bin. I don't think he owns even one mug that isn't chipped, cracked or stained.
He is clearly stuck in some sort of state of perpetual student-hood. He seems blind to the way that guests really appreciate clean mugs that don't present a risk of poisoning. He is a truly lovely man but completely oblivious to the horrible state of his crockery and what that says about him.
At the other end of the scale my partner and I regularly go to dinner with friends who use only the finest quality bone china. The hostess is continually updating her kitchen and dinnerware so the local charity shops get a constant supply of good quality products to sell. But her need to constantly change and update her home accessories is not limited to her dinner service and cutlery. She must redecorate some of the rooms in her house at least three times a year which is probably why her husband is often away on business, earning the money needed to keep her in new curtains and cushions.
Then there are several friends, male and female, who don't like to spend any money on their crockery. They will buy all of their plates, bowls and mugs from their local charity shops, probably the ones that our other friends have donated. Their crockery is a mix of disparate designs and sizes, some with patterns, some plain and all in a variety of colours. When they entertain its often a problem for them to find enough plates and soup bowls.
So what does your crockery say about you?
