<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnnycb09, post: 145796, member: 27&quot;]No brainer for me . Its my grandma&#039;s cheap little 1960s porcelain coffee set . I remember as a small child thinking it the most elegant thing I ever saw , and when she used it , it was a BIG deal .The person was held in high esteem indeed . As I got older , I saw it for the cheap little set it was and asked my granny why she carried it around when she had much nicer stuff by this point . </p><p>She explained to me that when they came from Cuba in 1960 , they literally had only the clothes on their backs so niceties like pretty china weren&#039;t a priority . She somehow managed , 10 cents here , 15 there , to assemble a set . It used to be a thing with older Cubans to serve coffee to guests in a nice set so she felt it keenly when she didn&#039;t have one . I look at that cheap set now and think about what it meant to her , I picture her soft , wrinkled hands holding it , and itd be the very first thing Id grab indeed . But itd be hard to leave my art behind ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
