The Great Dilemma

After three years of complaining about our dishes we decided it was time for a change! Being an avid vintage shopper, I was on the hunt for something mid century and a little fun. In one day I found not one, but two (!) sets! Each one comes with a few missing pieces (but also a few extra goodies) and some imperfections.

They were both well priced (about 1/8 what you would pay for a new service for 8!) and just cute as can be! So how could I decide? Ahhh yes, buy them both and decide later. Besides, I get to list the "losing" set for my fellow Etsyians.

So friends and family, I ask you, which should I keep?

FYI, the blue leaf pattern is Noritake and the yellow one is Franciscan.
