When I new it was certain our family was going to build a home one of the design elements I knew I wanted was a kitchen filled with white dishes, everything white! Ina Garten, The Barefoot Contessa, often uses all white dishes in her cook books. The all white dishes give the kitchen a clean crisp feel and look.

Concerning white and vintage combination. There are several options when choosing vintage white dishes.
There is white ironstone which is sturdy and easily accessible. It is usually moderately priced.
Vintage white porcelain, which can be a bit more pricier but holds up wonderfully.
Milk glass is another white option, which has a more translucent look. I wouldn't recommend milk glass serving plates and bowls for families with small children as the milk glass breaks more easily than the porcelain or ironstone. Milk glass mixing bowls on the other hand are great and last a life time.
Also, simple white vintage restaurant ware. Don't let the name fool you, restaurant wear is affordable, durable and great for kids due to its thick make up.
