I inherited the ENTIRE SETS of china from both of my grandparents, and I am so oppressed by them--but don't feel like I can get rid of them, either, so they sit in boxes in the basement. A teacup would be WAY happier. What a great idea!

My siblings and I split up several sets of family china. I'm going to do this for these -- by writing the names on them myself! This is a fantastic idea!

I wouldn't recommend breaking highly sentimental or valuable china, but it is a nice alternative to keeping stashed away in boxes unseen.

I've always preferred mismatched china, anyway. Everyday dishes can be simple and white, but for the special stuff, variety is the spice of life! I LOVE this idea.
