29. That's a cheap plate

$300.00 for that? The food looks cheap but the plate does too.

My mother sold high-end china, crystal, and silver for years so I kinda know the look. Is that supposed to be a charger underneath the dinnerplate? Chargers are typically larger than the dinner plate for visual appeal. I inherited mom's china. It's trimmed in real gold. You hold one of those dinner plates up to the light and it's translucent.

And don't get me started on the quality of the flower arrangements seen on that joint's webpage.
