A set inherited from each of my grandmothers (whose sons sent them a set while in service in Japan). And I use them regularly for book group meetings, for movie night, and for various other social occasions. I just switch up the patterns. Grandmother Loraine's (hot pink and green) is for warm weather months, and Grandmother Louise's (gold, pale pink, and taupe) is for cold weather months.
But I do still hand wash them, along with my crystal and my silver, because they both have gilt on them, and I'm afraid it would come off in the dishwasher.
