Pretty or hideous dinnerware

I give it a two, all depending on where it would be used and whom is using it lol
I have a niece whom would love to have this set..

I don't understand your comment, Patty (probably because I'm not an artist). The function of the form, apart from the service of food, is atmosphere, decor, art for art's sake, or maybe just for fun.

How is this set different or necessarily inferior to any other decorative set --except as a matter of taste?
 
I like it!

With the right flatware, napkins, and centerpiece, I could set a gorgeous table with that set. I give it a 9.99!

The question offered by Deb was Do you Like This style? Rate it 1 being the worse, 10 being the best.
 
I'd rate them a 10, but only for special use - maybe grilled burgers out on the deck.

I'd only buy them though if they were made out of paper (and cheap) for taking to picnic or something.

Oh, sorry! I already rated it a 10 in post #7, but on a personal level I don't like it --I give it a one. It's gaudy, pretentious, over the top, attention grabbing. I'm for warm comfort in all things. I like this better:

Oh! I love your taste. Thats a beautiful design.
So soft and elegant with a touch of class.
I rated the orange dishes as a one also. Way too loud and obnoxious for my taste.
 
I give the orange and white set a 3 and Gruntlabor's set a 10.

Setting the table with pretty dishes is one of my favorite things. I usually have 4 or 5 sets going at once then take them all to the thrift store and get new for as little as a dollar a plate. Lots of people are throwing out their good china because it has to be hand washed -- so more for me!

It would be great if you were on a diet.

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

We have a close woman friend. She's about seven years younger than me, but extremely delicateā€”mainly because she's so very thin. One might say she borders on emaciation. Everybody who knows this intelligent & dear person thinks she should gain 30 lbs. She loves the color orange, in anything. Car, living room furniture, deck furniture, ceramics, clothing, doors in her buildings.

Her appetite is a real issue. So, I guess it's a toss up: is her lack of enthusiasm for cooking keeping her thin, or is it her favorite color??
