Splurge vs. Save: Faceted Serving Dishes

I'm a big fan of white dinnerware - even for special occasions like Thanksgiving dinner - but every once in a while I like to fancy it up a bit.  My favorite way to make a simple white table more special is to add fun, colorful serving platters/dishes to highlight family style fare.

Here's a great example of some serving dishes that will do just that!  You have your "splurge" option or your "save" option....they're equally as lovely, but cater to very different budgets.

They both give off a pretty kaleidoscope-like look - modern, artistic, and oh so of-the-moment in design.  The main difference is in the material: the "splurge" set is made of metal, while the "save" set is stoneware.

Which set would you prefer for your Thanksgiving table?  Do tell!
