Haviland Laque de Chine ... the Budget Version

I am crazy for Haviland's Laque de Chine dinnerware, which perfectly blends timeless elegance and playful color.

Unfortunately, $350 for one five-piece place setting is waaaaaaay out of our league.  The coffee pot is my favorite piece, but at $570, the likelihood of picking up even that single piece is slim at best!

But today Something Old Something New featured a set of pretty dinnerware from Z Gallerie.  I clicked over to see what else they had on offer.  And, lo and behold:

Meet Z Gallerie's Avalon dinnerware in Mango.  (Also avilable in kiwi, espresso, and fuschia.)  Sure, it doesn't have exactly the perfect lines of the Haviland....  But at $68 for 4 dinner plates, I think I could overlook that!!

What's your favorite source for budget copies of high-end classics?  I'd love to know!
