Yes and no on the daily use. I have my mother's china, and I am leery of using it -- but I have no heirs; there is no one who will want it for sentimental reasons. So...why shouldn't I use it? I have the impulse to save it, but who am I saving it for?

It doesn't have borders (thank goodness) and I do love it.
