In our family, it is a tradition to give expensive tableware to new couple on their wedding. When I got married, my wife and I specifically asked for handcrafted plates instead. They cost a fraction of known tableware but my wife and I appreciate the art in each plate. More often handcrafted plates are more colorful. It makes eating fun.

Couples today seem to prefer plates that you use everyday and not expensive tableware that you don’t use at all. My wife and I prefer using ceramic handcrafted plates. Their colorful and vibrant designs will wake you up when you eat breakfast, recharge you during lunch and take away your stress during dinner. Most plates I have cost less than $5 a piece. I can break as much as I want without feeling guilty.
