Yeah, having multiple sets of dishes seems like a pain. That's why when my grandparents' stuff was getting passed on through the family nobody wanted the like 12+ different patterns of china that my grandfather had collected, I think like 2 or 3 sets found homes but most of it was just super impractical. I'm super lucky because I requested their everyday set of pyrex milkglass that they got for their wedding in the late 50s and grew over the years and it's super nice and I don't feel bad about actually using it either (gotta love actual borosilicate pyrex, it's actually decently sturdy).
