Pretty or hideous dinnerware

[debodun]

On a scale of 1 to 10 (1=ugliest, 10=very attractive), how would you rate this dinnerware design?

 

[PeppermintPatty]

It’s not my taste in dinnerware but I’m sure someone will like it. I definitely rate it a solid 1.

 

[debodun]

Bad design - those corners and sharp angled handles could easily be chipped. Can't say that color scheme is appealing to me, either. Looks like something The Jetsons would have. 3 - tops.

Wankel rotary dinnerware! Visually, I give it a 12!. Wife walked by she gave it a solid 10. Would we buy it, probably not because the cups and serving pieces aren't practical and not likely comfortable.

My first impression was Alice in Wonderland dinnerware. I give it a 1.

 

[WheatenLover]

I like it, but only to look at. I like a lot of mid-century modern stuff, but I don't like the color orange much.

I think that might be a "luncheon" set. They were often sold in creative and fun styles, same as "tea" sets. I'd rate it a 10 for creativity and fun.

It's a 1. Your right Deb that it looks like the Jetson's style.

 

[CallMeKate]

I'd say 2 for regular everyday "lunchware"... but probably 8 if it would be for a vintage 60s style kitchen.

10. There was a time, that if I’d found it for a great price in a thrift store, I’d have seriously considered buying it.

 

[Georgiagranny]

It must have fallen out of an ugly tree. Ewwwww.

 

[Pink Biz]

Not too bad...I give it a 7. Nice example of Art Deco style.

 

[Magna-Carta]

Well, shiver me timbers!

The saucers and plates look like something worn on your head in the 1700s & 1800s.

I'd give it a 7 if it were laid out on a table in a museum featuring items from the 1930s. Anywhere else, I'd give it a 3, downgraded to a 1 based on its colour.


Alternatively:







Should be thankful the plates don't look like this hat:

Now I like the sailboat design. The colour is easier on the eyes. I’m not fond of bright orange. I’d give the sailboat design a 10.

I don't mind the sailboat design -- I could live with that, occasionally.

That, or a classic white & sliver.

I agree with @WheatenLover

It would be great if you were on a diet.

Studies have shown that orange dishes can actually spoil your appetite .

And cause people to demonstrate their lack of good 'taste'.

Not mine. The only thing that can spoil my appetite is a bullet.

 

[Oldntired]

I think I might like it in a different color. Or maybe a solid color.

 

[againstthegrain]

It's got a unique vibe, would use every once in a while. Prob serve Asian food in them.

 

[OneEyedDiva]

I absolutely love that orange-red color but that dinnerware is not my taste. I'll give it a 6 though.

Not a fan of the pointy angled shape. The orange/white colour is is ok.
