Image search is an amazing thing. I was able to isolate the pattern in the image and run it through Google. The pattern came out in 1981. Fitz & Floyd is still in business, and the Platinum Rondelet pattern is available through china replacement companies or on eBay and etsy. I used Replacements Ltd to buy a demitasse and saucer set, even though that particular piece wasn't on the tables at Sea Castle. I like to imagine this is the cup they'd use to serve espresso after a meal, and it's how I often drink my coffee - an Americano with heavy cream in a demitasse. I was worried that I'd get it, drink from it and think "Meh", but no, it was different somehow. I save it for use on special occasions.Galen Gallimorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10272822237546731134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1631333711794814581.post-69657766496263211382012-10-05T08:21:37.615-04:002012-10-05T08:21:37.615-04:00This really makes me want to "Ozzy at the Ala...This really makes me want to "Ozzy at the Alamo" Mission Space.

The "Lorem Ipsum" text is sort of a wimp-out IMHO... If they're even going to have text to begin with, they might as well have gone the extra half-yard to have at least put reasonable menu items on the prop. Would it really have been difficult to have wrote "Lobster" rather then "Lorem Ipsum"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1631333711794814581.post-83527150012682438092009-04-07T21:12:00.000-04:002009-04-07T21:12:00.000-04:00Hehe.

It's used to mock-up how a page of text is going to look with a certain layout. Perhaps we will all go back to speaking Latin in the future??Omnispacenoreply@blogger.com
