Those who have issues with matching serving dishes to China Settings
should consider transferibg food to a Pattern Matching Serving Set. If
your China meets the requirements for setting a fine table...there are
serving services sets in a matching pattern or pewter or silver etc...
I eat over the sink some nights and out the pot others, but when serving
friends and family I transfer most veggies and casserole type dishes to a
more formal serving dish with cover, my "china" is stoneware so most
cooking stores have service pieces that will match their colours and
improve the looks of the table.
If I needs to impress... I take them out to Dine. That way you can smooze
more effectively.
