Which Dinnerware do you like better

[RetroLounge]

I get to take one of these patterns with me. We have nearly complete sets of each.

Both are the same shape, designed and sold in the 1950's.

Franciscan Startburst


Franciscan Duet Rose


Which one should I take?

1. I like the starburst.

I have something similar myself. It's more "guy", to my thinking, if that matters.

2. Heehee

but, but I like it too! x(

:hi:

5. Well then, you have excellent taste.

3. I like the startburst.

4. I like the Starburst too

It's more retro-looking than the rose pattern.

[FuzzySlippers]

6. Definitely the Starburst!

It's very cool!

7. Starburst.

Because:

1. It looks more retro, and your name is RetroLounge so it matches that.

2. It looks more like hip-guy dishes than the other.

3. I have some of the starburst kind myself and am partial to it.

8. I don't mean to be mercenary here, but

I'd betcha Franciscan Starburst will hold its value better. :blush:

10. Took a look at eBay

And Starburst is much more wanted and pricier in resale at the moment. :popcorn:

9. Starburst has that Jetson's look, don't it?

the other makes less of a statement.

Your style seems more like Starburst.

11. Starburst looks really fun

I'd go with that one.

12. The "Duet Rose" is beauty simplified....

...not trendy, at all. Plus, the colors are neutral.

13. Space-Age Bachelor Pad calls for Starburst

hands down

[donheld]

14. Listen here Retro

It's far too soon in our relationship to pick out a china pattern :evilgrin::hide:

[eyesroll]

15. Definately the starburst.

To me, it says "duck and cover."

Or "mmm, meatloaf."

I'm not sure.

[Beware the Beast Man]

16. Starburst is the better of the two- but I prefer Fiestaware:

[ClintonTyree]

17. The Starburst is a little over the top..........

the Rose is more subdued, more elegant. I'd go with the Rose.

[Pacifist Patriot]

18. I like unique and I'm just not a floral kind of gal.

I think the Starbust pattern is so unusual and retro as to be hip.
